Fatal house fire in Antioch, 3-15-15

Excerpts from the ChicagoSunTimes.com:

An elderly man lost his life in a house fire that broke out early Sunday morning in the 38000 block of Drexel Boulevard, located in unincorporated Antioch Township. According to the sheriff’s office, the fire began in an upstairs room of a three-story home. Six of the seven residents managed to escape before firefighters arrived on the scene. The seventh resident, 76-year-old Lowell B. Simonson, was found in an upstairs bedroom and later pronounced dead on the way to the hospital. His 74-year-old wife is currently in serious condition due to smoke inhalation.

The cause and origin of the fire are still under investigation, and the home has been completely destroyed. Local authorities are working closely with fire investigators to determine how the blaze started and whether any safety violations may have contributed to the tragedy. The community is now coming together to support the surviving family members and those affected by the incident.
