FOUNTAIN CITY, Ind. -- Authorities were awaiting toxicology tests to determine the cause of death for a Wayne County man who was found dead in a house fire.
No foul play was suspected in the death of Tony Lee Railsback, 31, said Wayne County Coroner Kevin Fouche.
"It's probably going to be carbon monoxide poisoning," said Fouche. "We won't know until we get a toxicology report back, but that is what it's looking like."
The fire broke out about 4 a.m. Saturday in a home near Fountain City, about 65 miles east of Indianapolis.
It took firefighters from several area departments about 90 minutes to extinguish the flames, which could be seen about two miles away, Fountain City Fire Chief Jeff Himelick said.
"Part of the house was actually gone when we got there," he said. "It had been burning for a while."
The cause of the fire remained under investigation.
