A man was found dead Monday night inside a burning home in the Dover community of Yazoo County, and the county coroner has identified him as Bruce Curry, 68.
Coroner Ricky Shivers said dispatch took the call at 10:27 p.m. for a structure fire in the 1700 block of Old Dover Road, a shed converted into a home. Dover volunteer firefighters arrived first and found it fully involved, with Bentonia volunteers arriving to assist.

The body has gone to the State Medical Examiner, where an autopsy and DNA testing will confirm the identification. What started the fire is still unknown. County Fire Marshal Nolan Warrington and the State Fire Marshal are working to find out.
