The Rock county Medical Examiner’s Office identifies the victim recovered from a residential fire in the town of Newark Tuesday.
Director of Operations Barry Irman says 62-year-old Thomas MacGowan died as a result of injuries sustained in the fire.
Fire rews were called to the home on the 10,000 block of Highway 81 just after 6:00 Tuesday morning. They found the single story ranch house fully involved.
Officials say the fire appears to have started in the front of the home, and the structure is considered a complete loss.
Authorities are still looking for MacGowan’s pickup truck which was missing from the property.
