The Johnston County Fire Marshal’s Office and Medical Examiner responded to the scene to assist with the investigation.

murder/suicide?
Sounds like it if they are not looking suspects, but who set the fire?
That what it seems with this information….but stranger outcomes have happened in the past. Glad to read no children were also actively harmed though…
It could have been a murder homicide
Kyle was a good man I know him for a long time but. He loved to work loved his friends and had a son. I’m going to miss him
