A 53-year-old man died in an early morning house fire in southeast Houston today.
The man, whose name has not yet been released [I confirmed that this was, indeed, my FRiend, Herb Meadows, known to all of us on FRee Republic by his screen name, "CHIEF negotiator"] was found by Houston firefighters in a bathroom in the rear of his home in the 8000 block of Glencrest, after the house burned about 1:30 a.m.
Firefighters said the man's wife told them she was watching television in the home's living room when she heard a loud pop and her husband shouting from the back of the home.
The woman tried unsuccessfully to rescue her husband, firefighters said. She was taken to St. Luke's Hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation symptoms.
Firefighters said it appeared the man tried to get out of the burning home, but the heavy smoke entered the bathroom, where he collapsed.
Arson investigators are at the scene of the fire this morning looking for its cause.

My heart is filled with sadness to have to report this terrible news. CHIEF was a FRiend and a soul brother to me. CHIEF will be missed, but
NEVER forgotten.
Please join me in praying for CHIEF negotiator and his family. We have lost a FRiend, a true American Patriot and a long time FRee Republic activist.

He'd just posted yesterday about wanting to re-enlist in the Marines!
To: Taxman
Very sad news indeed. I was bantering with him last evening on an FR thread, probably two hours before it happened. RIP, CHIEF...

I am just sick.
Prayers for everyone touched by this.
