DALLAS — A man was found dead as crews were working to put out a fire at a home in eastern Dallas early Saturday, officials said.
Dallas Fire-Rescue said crews responded to a home in the 6800 block of Day Street and found heavy smoke coming from the front of the residence.
Officials said firefighters were told by neighbors that a person may have been inside the home, so crews moved inside to conduct a search while working to get the fire under control.
As firefighters were putting out flames, officials said an unresponsive man was found in a rear bedroom. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man has not yet been identified as a medical examiner determines a cause of death.
Dallas Fire-Rescue said the fire may have started in the kitchen and spread throughout the house. The cause has not been determined.
