Fatal Easter Morning House Fire



Coroner confirms identity of victim
Crittenden County Coroner Brad Gilbert has confirmed the identity of the man who perished in the Easter-morning fire off Red Road in the southern end of the county.

Johnny Barlow, 66, was unable to get out of the home, which was completely engulfed by flames when the first firemen arrived at dawn. The coroner said he died of smoke inhalation.

Barlow's wife was able to escape the home unharmed.
