Coroner: 1 man dead in western Pa. house fire

GREENSBURG — A coroner says one man is dead following a house fire this morning.

But Westmoreland County coroner's officials say they still can't release the man's name and have yet to determine if he died in the fire or from other causes. A deputy coroner was still at the scene late this morning.

The fire was reported in Hempfield Township, and county 911 dispatchers said earlier that one person may have been trapped in the home.

The fire was reported after 7 a.m. in the township, about 30 miles east of Pittsburgh.

The cause of the fire was not immediately released.
