Crews responded to GPD Sergeant Tim “Mac” McInerney’s home on Fox Hollow Drive in Ayden at 4 a.m. on Saturday.
Greenville Police said his body was recovered inside the home and although not yet confirmed by a Medical Examiner, is presumed to be him.
The cause of death and fire is still undetermined, GPD said.
The Pitt County Sheriff’s Office, along with other agencies, offered their condolences.
