An autopsy has been ordered for Madisonville man found dead after an apartment fire last week.

It happened in the 100 block of Byers Street, in Madison County. That's where police say flames, and heavy smoke were spotted in one of the apartment units.

Inside authorities say they found 79-year-old Wilbert Harrison dead in his wheelchair.

At this time investigators do not know the exact cause of the blaze, but believe it may have been some type of flash fire.

It could still be several days before the autopsy results are in.

We already miss you Sonny. If this is in any way related to a 'gas leak', we hope that the officials do what is right to the others living in the apartments and get the problem corrected ASAP!!
