His death has been ruled an accident.

Police went to a home to serve an "emergency detention order" on Bernie Breeding, 49, of Marengo, on Tuesday.

Some families have been left with no options as daycares and child care facilities shuttered during the pandemic.

Witnesses say they saw a white man in a black hoodie and dark pants go inside the house. They say the fire started shortly after he left.

Responders were called to the beach area of Hardy Lake Saturday afternoon where a man was recovered from the water and taken to the hospital where he later died.
