LaSalle man died in house fire

A 38-year-old LaSalle Parish man died in a blaze early Saturday morning that
completely dedtroyed his home on the Taylor Chapel Road west of Jena,
according to a spokesman for the LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Department.

Warren Glenn Jackson a member of the Jena Band of Choctaws, was found after
the blaze had been extinguished by fire departments called to the scene.

The LaSalle Sheriff's Department received a call shortly after 5 a.m.,
Saturday, from a neighbor who reported the fire.

Fire units from Jena, Eden-Fellowship and Tullos Fire Departments responded to
the call but the residence was engulfed in flames when they arrived, deputies
said.

After the fire had been extinguished and Jackson's body was found, LaSalle
Parish Coroner Dr. I.C. Turnley, Jr. was called to the scene. He ordered an
autopsy and the body was sent to Bossier City.

The State Fire Marshal's Office was notified and the investigation was turned
over to a fire marshal.

Although an official report on the cause of the blaze will be forthcoming from
the fire marshal, officials believed the fire started from a stove in the
house.
