Authorities have released the name of a man whose body was found inside a burning Norfolk, Nebraska home.

Police said Monday the man’s been identified as 64-year-old Robert Nelson.

A final autopsy report has yet to be issued.

The fire was reported just before 10 a.m. Friday by a postal worker who called 911.

Arriving firefighters found flames and heavy smoke coming from the home and had to cut through the home’s roof and an exterior wall to extinguish the fire.

Police say the fire appears to have been accidental.
