A house fire in South Carolina resulted in the death of a 73-year-old man. The victim, identified by the Anderson County Coroner's Office, was found dead inside an apartment.

The fire occurred early Sunday morning, with emergency services receiving a call just after 5 a.m. A preliminary investigation suggests that an oven was accidentally turned on, causing the man's jacket to catch fire.

The cause of death was determined to be smoke inhalation due to thermal burns, and the death was ruled accidental. Further details about the incident are available from the Anderson County Coroner's Office and news outlets.
