FLINT — A Flint man was left without a home Sunday after a fire broke out on his property. It happened about 11:30 Sunday morning near the corner of Eastern Hills Drive and Lakeview Drive in the Pine Trail Shores subdivision. Ted English lived alone with his two pets, a dog and a cat. Officials say, while loading his wood-burning stove, his home caught fire. Responders on the scene say five different fire departments were called in to fight the fire in English’s mobile home. The American Red Cross is providing assistance for English.
In 1999, English’s wife Mary was murdered by her own brother. English said doctors diagnosed him with depression and a stress disorder following the incident, and he hasn’t been successful getting help.
