Sad footnote to Galesburg fire news

Review-Atlas * reports that authorities have found and identified a body found in the burnt-out ruins of the O.T. Johnson building in downtown Galesburg. The Galesburg PD has confirmed that they have found Michael D. Olson, 23, of Galesburg, missing since he left a bar across the street from the Johnson building shortly before the fire was reported.

They say there is no indication, right now, of foul play.

His parents have my sympathies. We were hoping that they'd find a less painful closure.


*no snide remarks, today
