The Rock County Medical Examiner’s Office is releasing the name of the Janesville man who was found dead following a residential fire last month at a home on the 1800 block of East Memorial Drive.
The Janesville Fire Department says Janesville police were dispatched to the residence just before 12:30 p.m. on August 22nd for a welfare check.
First responders didn’t find any smoke or active fire, but determined that a fire had occurred inside the home in the previous 12 hours. The blaze was apparently extinguished by a lack of oxygen. The fire department says a high level of carbon monoxide was found inside the residence.
The Medical Examiner says 57-year-old Kevin L. Miller was found dead inside of the home. Miller’s cause and manner of death are pending.
The Janesville Fire Department says the home didn’t have any working smoke alarms and a bedroom door was left open.
