Man, 60, found dead in southeast Las Vegas trailer fire

A man was found dead after a trailer fire Wednesday morning in the southeast valley.

Clark County firefighters responded to the blaze about 7:45 a.m. at 3464 Death Valley Dr., near Nellis Boulevard and Desert Inn Road. The 60-year-old man was found dead after the fire was knocked down about 8 a.m.

Witnesses reported hearing an explosion shortly before the fire.

Las Vegas police homicide detectives were responding and treating the fire as a crime scene until the cause could be determined.

No other injuries were reported and the man was apparently the only resident of the home.
