EWEN -- Upper Michigan's Source learned more about a deadly house fire in Ewen over the weekend.
An elderly man was killed in the fire.
The Ewen Volunteer Fire Department responded to a fire on North Polvi Road at 9 a.m. Sunday morning. Firefighters say the building was completely burned out with only a few hot spots remaining when they arrived.
After investigating the scene, they found the body of 87-year-old Royce Peterson in the northwest corner of the home.
"He lived further out in the country where there is no...the closest neighbors are nearly a mile away, and the house was surrounded by trees, which concealed the house," said Ewen Fire Chief, Dan Staf.
