Houston firefighters had to get someone to unlock a large metal gate around the property and then break through burglar bars. Once they got into the building, they discovered the body of a man, approximately 60 to 65 years old, in a bedroom.
The owner of the house told firefighters no one was supposed to be living there. Electricity was being run to the house from another location.
