PEORIA, Ill. — Peoria firefighters were called just after 6 a.m. Thursday to the scene of a fire at 903 W. Thrush.
Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood said once the fire was extinguished, crews made a sweep of the home.
“They found one male inside who was deceased. They brought him outside to see if they could resuscitate. But, were unable to unfortunately,” Harwood said.
The victim was an adult male between the ages of 30-40 years old.
“We don’t have an ID on him right now…that’s something we’re going to be working on throughout most of the morning today (Thursday), by finger print and identification,” Harwood said.
An autopsy is scheduled for Friday.
The Peoria Fire Department is investigating the cause of the fire.
