Homicide Victim Found in North Coventry Fire, Report Says

The body of a male victim was reportedly found at a fire scene.

An evening fire at a North Coventry apartment complex led to the discovery of a homicide victim, the Pottstown Mercury reported early Wednesday morning.

Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan and other officials were reportedly being tight-lipped about the circumstances surrounding the death of the male victim, whose identity was being withheld pending family notification.

Fire marshals, arson investigators, and other officials reportedly remained at the Hanover Garden Apartments off E. Schuylkill Road several hours after the fire was reported shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday night.
