Man found dead in burning motorhome in Fla. Keys

BIG PINE KEY, Fla. (AP) -- A 65-year-old man was found dead inside a burning motor home at a campground in the Florida Keys.

Monroe County Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of a fire at Seahorse Campground on Big Pine Key late Thursday. They spotted a body on a mattress inside the motorhome, but couldn't get inside because of intense smoke and heat.

Fire rescue officials later retrieved the body of the man, whose name has not been released.

A neighbor told deputies he had spotted the smoke and put out the flames with a fire extinguisher. Another neighbor called 911.

The state fire marshal's office will investigate.
