Police: Body Found After Bethany House Fire

A body was found inside a home that caught on fire in Bethany, Oklahoma, early Monday morning.

Agents with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) were seen discussing the case with Bethany Police. Around 12:30 a.m., authorities received a 911 call of a house fire in the 6700 block of N.W. 24th Street near College Avenue.

The first to arrive on scene was a Bethany police officer. Smoke was pouring out of the home and he was unable to get inside because of the smoke.

Less than a minute later, firefighters showed up. They went in, knocked out the fire, and that's when they discovered a body on the floor inside the home.
