Indiana Man Rescued From Burning Home Dies From Gunshot Wound to Head

MARION, Ind. -- Authorities say a central Indiana man suffering a gunshot wound to the head died hours after firefighters rescued him from his burning home.

Marion firefighters were called to the house about 4 a.m. Monday and carried out 56-year-old Jeffrey Chambers. Rescuers revived him and he was taken to a Fort Wayne hospital, where he died Monday afternoon.

Deputy Police Chief Cliff Sessoms says investigators didn't immediately know whether Chambers' gunshot wound was self-inflicted. He says a gun was found in the house, but police didn't know whether it was used in the shooting.

The fire destroyed the house. Arson investigators were awaiting test results on whether it was intentionally set.
