0SHARESShareTweetDavid Cannon Obituary, Death Cause – On Friday, a house fire in Princeton caused injuries to a local citizen, and those injuries ultimately proved fatal for the Princeton resident. On Saturday, the coroner for Bureau County, Janice Wamhoff, announced that the deceased individual had been identified as David Cannon, who was 40 years old at the time of his passing. Wamhoff reports that he passed away on Friday at 1:54 p.m. local time at the OSF St. Clare Medical Center in Princeton. Cannon was pulled out of the burning home on the 200 block of West Clark Street in Princeton shortly after one o’clock in the afternoon,
when the fire department was summoned to the scene. The home was located in the Princeton neighborhood of West Windsor. They noticed a big fire on the first and second floors of the house when they arrived, and they were informed that a resident was still inside at the time. In addition, according to Deputy Fire Chief Brian Carrington of the Princeton Fire Department, the event resulted in two firemen sustaining injuries that were not deemed to be life-threatening. Carrington stated that the injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
It was determined that the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System had been activated, therefore local fire departments in the vicinity were immediately dispatched to provide assistance. According to Carrington, one of the contributing factors that led to the decision to call for further aid was the extremely high heat index combined with temperatures that were in the mid-nineties. The fact that the cause of the event had not been identified as of Saturday afternoon forced the Illinois State incident Marshal’s Office to be called in to investigate the fire that had broken out.
