ST. PAUL, Neb. (AP) — A Howard County official says a preliminary autopsy report shows smoke and heat from a mobile home fire killed a 29-year-old St. Paul man.
Howard County Attorney David Schroeder said Friday’s fire began in a kitchen trash container. The body of Jason Kock was found in a doorway between the kitchen and living room. He was alone in the home.
Schroeder said last week that a crime was not suspected in the fire or Kock’s death.
