Fiery death still a mystery
BEDFORD - Authorities still do not know what caused the death of Mary Jean Endris, who was found in bed after a fire at her home Sunday.
?It may be two to three weeks before we make a determination,? said Lawrence County Coroner John Sherrill.
He wants to get the fire inspector's report, police report and toxicology tests before making a final determination of why Endris, 61, 1820 G St., died.
Foul play has not been ruled out.
The Bedford Fire Department would not comment about the case because it remains under investigation by the Bedford Police Department. No one from the police department was available to comment on the case this morning. Several officers were unavailable because of Election Day.
Firefighters were alerted to a fire at Endris' home at 7:05 a.m. Sunday, and firefighters soon found her body on a bed in the bedroom.
She was identified Monday using dental records.
The fire was contained to that bedroom and an adjacent family room.
?It's very hard to comprehend because the house looks fine from the outside,? Sherrill said.
