Authorities in central Nebraska say they found a man dead after a camper fire. 

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office says fire crews responded to an area on West Park Road in Sutherland early Wednesday.

People reported a camper engulfed in flames. 

Upon arrival, neighbors told deputies and firemen a man lived in the camper and was likely still in it. 

After putting out the fire, crews found a body inside the camper. 

State Fire Marshal was called in to investigate. 

Preliminary investigation showed the most likely cause of the fire was a faulty appliance. 

The case remains under investigation.
