MILLINOCKET — We may never know the reason a mobile home burned here earlier this month, killing the woman who lived there, officials say.
According to information provided by Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, fire marshals have been unable to pinpoint the cause of the June 8 fire that killed Constance Clayton-Willcoxen. She was found in her trailer, which was gutted by flames.
Sgt. Ken Grimes of the fire marshal's office said the fire started in a front workshop room of the home, which is where the woman died. The room was extremely cluttered with household items and trash. All indications are the fire was accidental.
Due to the extent of damage, though, the exact cause will probably remain unknown.
