A fire broke out on Wednesday at around 4:43 a.m. on Wickersham Lane in southwest Houston. Firefighters found a pickup truck burning, which spread to another vehicle, the house, and the garage. A man’s body was found inside the truck, as reported by Fox26Houston.
Authorities are investigating a death that may be a suicide. Houston police say the man, found in a truck with a gunshot wound to the head, likely died before the fire started. They believe his foot might have accidentally hit the gas pedal, causing a crash that sparked the fire. Both arson and homicide investigations are ongoing, according to Click2Houston.
The homeowners were not harmed and don’t know the deceased or recognize the truck found at the scene. The truck seems out of place. The Houston Fire Department and Police are investigating the cause of the fire and how the person died to understand what happened, as stated by Fox26Houston.
