We have now learned a rural East Dubuque house fire yesterday afternoon was deadly.
The Jo Daviess County Sheriff says when deputies arrived at the home shortly before one o’clock at 5815 North Dunn Road, notes written by the suspected homeowner were found inside a vehicle parked outside the home. Authorities say the notes indicated the homeowner was still inside.
Once inside the dwelling authorities say human remains were found and identified as 77-year- old Harry Holloman, who was the homeowner and lived alone. The case remains under investigation. The Sheriff says there is no danger or threat to the community.
Fire crews from East Dubuque, Menominee-Dunleith, Jamestown, Galena, and Hazel Green all assisted at the scene of the fire. There is no other information available.
The Jo Daviess County Sheriff says if anyone has helpful information to contact their office.
