Officials investigating the cause of the huge blaze that reduced the $1.5 million beachfront home of a South Carolina judge to smouldering embers on Saturday morning have said they do not believe arson played a part.
“At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set,” State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) Chief Mark Keel said in a statement about the fire at the home of Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein in the luxury Jeremy Cay gated community at Edisto Beach.
