MADBURY - The state Fire Marshals Office on Thursday confirmed the identity of the victim of a Madbury mobile home fire on March 6.

Stephen A. White Jr., 56, died of carbon monoxide poisoning, and the manner of death was ruled accidental, according to officials.

The fire was reported around midnight drawing firefighters to Bunker Lane where they found the residence actively on fire and learned that the sole occupant was missing.

Firefighters worked for several hours to extinguish the fire. Due to a roof collapse, however, crews were initially unable to access all areas of the home. After the fire was extinguished, fire personnel located White deceased inside the home.

The investigation into the origin and cause of the fire is ongoing.

The fire is not considered suspicious.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is encouraged to contact the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal's Office at (603) 223-4289 or fmo@dos.nh.gov.
