TUCKER, Ga. (W.) March 12, 2007 - A fire destroyed the home of author Cecil Murphey and killed Murphey's son-in-law.
Murphey, his wife, Shirley, and daughter Cecile escaped, but Cecile’s husband, Alan Hege, was trapped inside and died in the flames.
Family members said Hege’s body was cremated last week and a memorial service will be held later in the month. Fire officials said the fire was started downstairs by sparks from a scented candle Cecile had blown out.
