COVINGTON - Police said late Friday they are investigating why a 48-year-old man died at Cambridge Square apartments but say no foul play is suspected.
James Haynes died Friday afternoon, but it was before a fire began in his apartment about 3:30 p.m., Covington police said.
Reports earlier Friday had indicated Haynes died of smoke inhalation after a cigarette caught his mattress on fire.
Firefighters said that when they arrived, they found a smoldering mattress inside the small basement apartment on Promontory Drive.
The fire caused less than $2,500 damage, according to the fire department.
