On July 1st, 2013 at approximately 2:48 AM the Darke CountySheriff’s Office received a 911 call reporting a small camper being on fire at11614 Mangen Road north of Versailles, Ohio.
The Versailles Fire Department, Versailles Rescue Squad, and Darke County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the scene. The 911 caller reported that a single occupant was possibly inside the burning camper. Emergency responders located the body of an adult male in the trailer. Investigators from the Darke County Coroner’s Office and the Ohio State Fire Marshal’s Office also responded and assisted in the investigation. The body was removed to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office for further examination.
There was a known adult male resident of the camper, however, conditions of the body prevent authorities from making a positive identification at this time. Investigators will be relying on the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office and the Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab to forensically assist them in the identification process. Confirmation on the identity could take as long as four or five weeks.
The cause and circumstances of the fire remain under investigation. Further details will be released as the investigation progresses.
