Authorities on Monday released the name of the man found dead Thursday in the wreckage of a home destroyed by fire in Green Valley.
Kenneth P. Lawniczak, 55, was the home owner and sole resident, according to the Shawano County Sheriff’s Department.
Firefighters responded to the fire on Town Line Road in Green Valley, just west of Krakow, shortly after 6 a.m.
The house was already engulfed when they arrived. Lawniczak was unaccounted for and believed to still be inside.
Crews battled the blaze for several hours, but the house was declared a total loss. Lawniczak was recovered from the structure once the fire was extinguished.
Authorities are awaiting toxicology reports before officially releasing a cause of death. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
