TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Authorities say a burning cigar caused a fire that resulted in a man's death.
Leroy Coleman was rescued from his house on Oct. 30, and firefighters restored his pulse after administering CPR to him at the scene.
Fire Department spokesman Bill French said, however, Coleman died later that night at Hillcrest Medical Center.
French says fire investigators concluded that a cigar that Coleman had been smoking had caught a recliner on fire.
