The body was found at the scene on Oak Street in the borough.

Coroner Bob Miller said the man went outside with his oxygen tank to smoke a cigarette. The fire was reported at 5:45 p.m.

When firefighters arrived on scene they found smoke coming from a third floor attic window and the eaves of the roof. Fire companies from Parryville, Bowmanstown, Franklin Township and Slatington responded to the fire.
