Lincoln Nebraska police patchLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have identified a 71-year-old Lincoln man who died in a house fire last week.

Lincoln Police say Gary M. Tunnison died Wednesday at his home in South Lincoln.

He was found dead with his cat inside a garage that had been converted into a living space.

Firefighters say the fire was concentrated in the garage living space. It took about 35 minutes to control the fire.
