BLUFFTON, S.C. (AP) -- A man's body has been recovered from a camper that caught fire and burned in Bluffton.

The Island Packet of Hilton Head reports firefighters from three Bluffton fire companies arrived shortly after noon Monday. They brought the fire under control in about 10 minutes.

The Beaufort County Coroner's Office reports the body of 55-year-old John Porzio was found inside the camper.

Authorities say the cause of the fire has not been determined but they don't think the cause was suspicious.
