TURNER, Maine (AP) - Authorities say a 69-year-old man has died in a fire that consumed his home in Turner.

Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland identified the victim as John Jordan, who lived alone. He says the fire was reported around 2 a.m. Saturday and that Jordan’s body was found in the rubble.

McCausland says it’s unlikely the cause of the blaze will be determined because the house was flattened in the fire.
