Archived: One Man Dead After Fire At Foley Residence

A fire that led to the death of a Foley man is under investigation.

The Benton County Sheriff’s Office was called to the scene of a residential fire around 6 p.m. on Sunday in Ronneby east of Foley. When they arrived, they saw heavy smoke and talked to a man who had escaped from the second floor window before discovering that another man was still trapped inside. The heavy smoke and flames prevented authorities from entering the building.

The Foley Fire Department was called to the scene and entered the home in an attempt to put the fire out. Inside they found 59-year-old Bruce Edward Linn of Foley dead inside the burning home.

The cause of the fire and Linn’s death are still under investigation.
