    The Aiken County sheriff's and coroner's offices are investigating a fatal home fire.

    Aiken County Coroner Darryl Ables said via news release that the fire was reported at about 7:13 p.m. Friday at a residence on the 500 block of John Nunn Highway in Salley, about 30 miles east of Aiken.

    After the fire was extinguished, the body of a male was found inside. Due to extensive thermal injuries, he was not immediately identified.

    An autopsy has been scheduled in Newberry to determine the victim's identity and the cause of the fire.
