'3 dead after fire' at home owned by Blake

Three people were found dead Wednesday morning after a fire at a Florida home owned by retired US tennis star James Blake, media reports said. The Tampa Tribune and WTSP television reported that firefighters responded to a call that the mansion inside the exclusive Avila Golf and Country Club was ablaze. The newspaper reported that the home was being rented out to others by Blake, who retired last year, and that Blake was at his home in Connecticut when the fire took place. Identities of the victims have not be released by police, who also have not said if the blaze was the suspected cause of death in each case. The cause of the fire also remains under investigation. Structural damage might keep investigators from entering the structure to search for evidence until Thursday, police said. Blake, 34, won 10 ATP titles in a 14-year career that ended last August when he called it quits at the US Open. He was ranked as high as fourth in the world in 2006. Source: AFP
