Authorities: Man found dead inside burning Pittsburgh home
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities say a fast-moving fire that roared through a western Pennsylvania home has left a man dead. Emergency responders found 56-year-old Gerard Anthony Koch on the first floor of the Pittsburgh home early Friday. He was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. Firefighters had responded to the home around 12:20 a.m. and  found heavy smoke and flames shooting from the two-story home. The fire was brought under control about 30 minutes later. It wasn’t immediately known if Koch lived at the home, and apparently no one else was in the residence at the time of the fire. No other injuries were reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
