The sheriff's office said the house was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived. After crews brought the fire under control, they found the victim dead inside. Several volunteer fire departments, Lee County EMS and sheriff's deputies responded.
The sheriff's office said the person's name will be withheld until relatives are notified. A Lee County justice of the peace held an inquest at the scene. The sheriff's office and the Texas State Fire Marshal's Office are investigating the cause of the fire.
