PHOTO: One man was found dead Thursday following a house fire near St. Mary’s University. Firefighters responded to the blaze in the 300 block of Plainview Drive just before 6:15 a.m. Flames were shooting out of the home's roof when they arrived and they discovered the body of an elderly man inside, Woody Woodward, a spokesman for the San Antonio Fire Department, said. “It appears that he may have been deceased before the fire started,” Woodward said. The man’s body was found in a different part of the home than where the flames originated. Arson investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.
