KELLY ISHAM

Local woman dies in fire

Kelly Isham, 44, of 921 Sunset Drive lost her life Tuesday apparently due to smoke inhalation from a fire that she allegedly started at her home, Mercer County Deputy Sheriff Tim Gambrel said.

The fire was started sometime after 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Gambrel said.

Isham’s 17-year-old son left for school at approximately 7:30 am. Tuesday, and returned home a little after 4 p.m. to find the house filled with smoke. He went to neighbors and called 911, said Mercer Central Fire Department Chief Glen Phillips.

Isham was found dead in her home near the living room door at 4:20 pm. No one else was at the residence at the time of the fire.

Property damage from the fire was limited to the interior of the home. The fire started in the hallway and smoke spread throughout the hosue. There was significant fire damage in the hallway and collateral damage in several adjacent rooms.

When firefighters arrived on the scene, they found significant fire damage, but the fire, which produced a lot of soot and smoke, had burned itself out. Isham’s body was found inside the house.

Neighbors in the Riverview Subdivision had not detected the fire or smoke throughout the day.

“We’re pretty confident that we know what started the fire, but we can’t release that until the autopsy has been completed. Preliminary results should come back today,” Phillips said Wednesday. (The report was not back by The Herald’s press time Wednesday.

Gambrel said he believed the fire had been started with gasoline.
