The Highland Park News is reporting that:
It will take a few days to positively identify the man firefighters found in a burned out house Monday.
Neighbors say the man was the owner of Trattoria Giacomo Restaurant in Highwood. The owner is Giacomo Ruggirello, who has owned the Italian restaurant in a strip mall across from Fort Sheridan since 1998. Authorities would not confirm that.
Highland Park Fire Department crews responded to the fire at 12:42 a.m. and found the home at 1788 Midland Ave. fully engulfed in flames. The fire was so hot it started burning a house just to the south and some of its second-story windows had to be tarped.
