MALAGA, Wash. (AP) — The man whose body was discovered at a brush fire near Malaga was homeless.
Chelan County Coroner Wayne Harris says 63-year old Benjamin Franklin Card was homeless with no known relatives. An autopsy Tuesday shows he died from lack of oxygen — asphyxia.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Jerry Moore told KPQ (http://is.gd/DRDRip ) firefighters found the body Friday in debris that appeared to be a homeless camp in a wooded area. Moore says the fire has been ruled accidental.
