Firefighters have released the identity of the of a man found in the rubble of a fire that flattened a farmhouse on Route 1 in Cherryfield.
State Police Public Spokesman Steve McCausland says 35-year old Chris Farnsworth's body was found Wednesday.
Officials with the State Fire Marshal's Office say the fire broke out before dawn.
Mary Farnsworth owns the home and managed to escape.
She told firefighters her son woke her, said his bedroom was on fire and that he was going to get water to put it out.
We're told firefighters tried to go upstairs to search the home, but the heat and smoke was too intense for them to reach the bedrooms.
State Fire Marshal Investigator Tim York says the damage to the home is too great and a cause can not be determined.
