FAIRFIELD – Authorities investigating a fire at a home where a body was found have released a tentative identification.

Pending further examination, officials say the body is believed to be that of Steven Edwards, a 55-year-old Fairfield man.

The fire destroyed Edwards’ home Friday afternoon.

A positive identification is expected to be made by the state medical examiner’s office this week.

Fire investigators say they are still working on determining the cause of the fire and where in the house it started.
