The Trumbull County Coroner has released the identity of a man who died in a fire in Warren Tuesday morning.

The man was identified as 56-year-old Christopher Messersmith.

Dispatchers say they received a call about smoke coming from a home on the 1700 block of Bonnie Brae Ave. NE just after 7 a.m. Tuesday.

911 audio reveals Messersmith's brother had called 911 to report the fire was coming to the attic. The man told dispatchers that his brother was still inside the home, but he could not get to him because it was too smoky.

"I can't even go up the stairs," the man said.

Warren Fire Chief Ken Nussle tells 21 News that the victim was found in a second-floor bedroom where the fire appears to have started.

The Ohio Fire Marshal is looking for the cause of the blaze.

The name of the victim has not yet been released.
