PARAGON, Ind. — Officials in Morgan County said a body was recovered in the aftermath of a house fire Sunday morning.
Around 8:15 a.m. Jan. 28, several fire departments responded to a report of a fire with people possibly trapped in the 200 block of Arthur Road, near West Base Line Road and northwest of Paragon.
Crews found a log cabin type home engulfed in flames and partially collapsed into the basement, the City of Martinsville Fire Department said in a social media post. The fire was brought under control in roughly two hours, and one person living at the home was taken to a local hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation.
Fire investigators and Morgan County Sheriff's Office detectives located a body after the fire had been extinguished, the fire department and sheriff's office said.
The Morgan County Coroner's Office has not publicly identified the person found.
"The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and there is no additional information available at this time," the Martinsville Fire Department said.
Paragon is roughly 40 miles from Indianapolis.
