Matagorda County Man Dies in Fire
A
62-year old Matagorda County native became the county’s second fire
fatality of the year early Friday.
The
body of Sullivan Hawkins was found in the ruins of his house at
Churchill Road near Sargent approximately 6 a. m.
It
was impossible to immediately determine the cause of death since the
house had been completely destroyed and the body was badly burned.
Hawkins’ body was found lying face down next to his bathtub.
Funeral arrangements are pending at Duncan Roberts Funeral Home in
Bay City.
According to Deputy Sherriff Sam Hurta, the fire was first seen by
Lester Urps, who was returning home from his job in Freeport at 5:45
a. m. Hurta said Urps told him that when he saw the fire the roof had already caved in and the walls had crumbled. Urps went to the nearby residence of R. L. Smith and informed him of the fire.
The
two returned to the house just in time to see the walls cave in.
Hurta
said the house only had two doors, one facing north and the other on
the south end of the building.
He
surmised that Hawkins may have been confused by the smoke and
entered the bathroom by mistake. It is also possible that Hawkins
may have tripped and fallen against the bathtub. The position and
position of the body lent some credulence to that theory.
Justice of the Peace Kirk Richardson pronounced Hawkins dead at the
scene. Daily Tribune, January 25, 1974
