JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man was found dead Thursday morning in a badly burned van that was parked in the driveway of a home that caught fire, according to Jacksonville Fire and Rescue.
Firefighters were called just before 5:45 a.m. to the house fire on Loran Drive, north of Barnes Road near University Boulevard South.
