Man found dead in St. Paul fire

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Fire officials say a man has been found dead in his burning St. Paul home.

First District Chief Stacy Hohertz says firefighters had some difficulty entering the home early Tuesday because of a large number of books and magazines blocking the entry ways.

KARE-TV says firefighters cut their way into the home and found the man already deceased.
