The state Fire Marshal's Office is calling the fire suspicious.

Dead is 57-year-old Terry Echard.

Assistant state Fire Marshal Mackey Ayersman says Echard died when his mobile home caught fire around 1:20 p.m. Saturday.

Neighbors extinguished the fire before firemen arrived.

Ayersman said Echard suffered from multiple sclerosis and had difficulty walking.

His body was sent to the state medical examiner's office in Charleston.
