UPDATE: State Fire Marshal (SFM) deputies have concluded their investigation into a camper trailer fire that claimed the life of a Sunset man.
Shortly after 8 a.m. on February 20, the New Iberia Fire Department responded to a call for a camper trailer fire located in the 1700 block of Juanita Street.
A relative discovered the victim and remnants of a fire when bringing the occupant breakfast. While official identification and cause of death are pending an autopsy, the victim is believed to be the 81- year-old camper owner who had traveled from his property in Sunset to the relativeâs property in New Iberia due to the winter weather threat across the state.
