Fatal Fire At Polo Club Apartments
October 5, 2008
A 20-year-old man died early this morning in a Jollyville apartment fire.
Firefighters were called out to the Polo Club Apartments in the 8500 block of Cahill Drive around 1 a.m. Saturday, said Williamson County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Det. John Foster. When they arrived, they found two apartment units in flames.
After extinguishing the fire, firefighters discovered the body of 20-year-old Raymond Waterman Jr. inside his apartment, Foster said. No one else was injured.
The fire is believed to have been caused by smoking materials inside Waterman’s apartment, Foster said. A preliminary autopsy reports that Waterman died of smoke inhalation, Foster said.
The apartment complex sustained more than $1 million in estimated damage.
