Autopsy to determine whether fire killed the man in Aleppo Township on Saturday

The investigators are waiting for autopsy results to determine whether a man from Aleppo Township was killed during a fire on Saturday morning or whether he was dead before the start of the fire.

Willie Wayne Jones, 33, was found dead on Saturday morning, which destroyed his sister's house in the Kuhn Hill Road. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

Chloe Jones, who belongs to the house, said a neighbor discovered the fire around 6 a.m., but did not call for help because the power supply was in the area.

According to Chloe Jones, a call to 911 was made around 6:30 a.m. She said the investigators had told her that the fire probably burned for a few hours before this point.

“When someone arrived there, there was nothing left,” she said. “The metal was even melted.”

In a press release on Sunday, Greene County Coroner said Rush, Willie Jones, whose body was found in the house, was declared dead on Saturday at 8:41 a.m. No further information would be available for an autopsy, he said.

Chloe Jones said that the family was expected on Tuesday with the results of the autopsy. She said that the lung tissue that could determine whether her brother had killed or died by the fire.

Depending on the results of the autopsy and what the firefighter says, the family is considering reward money for tips in the case, said Chloe Jones.

Willie had lived in her house since Thursday, said his sister. He told relatives who continued to see him that it felt like someone was watching him, said Chloe Jones.

She said another brother checked Willie Jones on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. “And then we don't know what happened.”

On Monday afternoon, the cause of the fire was still indefinite, said the spokesman for the state police, the Trooper Kaleee Barnhart.

Chloe Jones remembered her brother's generosity.

“He would come for us, everything we needed,” she said. “He was good with all the children, good with his own children … the most difficult thing is not to know exactly what happened, and since the fire was so bad, they told us there is an opportunity that we don't know.”

At the time of the fire, Chloe Jones was in West Virginia and helped the house of her aunt.

At the moment she plans to stay there until she finds out what to do.

“I was so angry with my brother that I hadn't even thought about it yet,” she said. “I would rather be here than even worry about this house.”
