Fatal Onalaska fire caused by candles

ONALASKA, Wash. (AP) - The Lewis County sheriff's office says candles apparantly started the fire at an Onalaska home that killed a 32-year-old man.

Friends gave candles to Christopher W. Sandridge last week because his power was out.

His body was found in the remains of the fire. The autopsy showed he died from inhaling smoke.
