Sunday evening around 6pm Hickerson Station Volunteer Fire Department was called to the scene of a pull behind camper fire at Barton Springs camping area at Normandy Lake. When they arrived, the camper was fully engulfed in flames. While extinguishing the fire a body was discovered.
Coffee County Sheriff Chad Partin responded to the scene and told WMSR News that the body has not been identified to be male or female because it was burned so badly. The sheriff’s department secured the scene until the state bomb and arson team arrived to investigate. They will look into the cause of the fire. The body is being sent to Nashville for an autopsy to determine the cause and approximate time of the person’s death. Sheriff Partin says his department is investigating who owns the camper.
