A 51-year-old man was found dead inside a burning car in a garage in Frackville, Monday afternoon.
The Republican Herald reports that firefighters were called to a garage located on South Birch Street, to the rear of 333 S. Nice St., just before 1 p.m. when Frackville police on patrol found smoke coming from inside the one-stall structure.
At the scene, firefighters found a Nissan Maxima inside and on fire. After the fire was extinguished, Frackville police said the man, whom authorities did not identify, was found deceased, sitting inside the vehicle.
A state police fire marshal is assisting in the investigation.
Authorities said it appears the vehicle was intentionally set on fire and initial indications point to suicide.
