MCKINNEY, Texas — Crews are mourning the loss of a firefighter who was found dead inside his home Thursday.

CBS DFW reported that Plano Fire-Rescue fire engineer Brent Cuba, 43, was scheduled to work at Fire Station 4 but didn’t arrive by shift change.

A department employee went to his home after attempts to reach Cuba were unsuccessful, according to the report. Once at Cuba’s home, the employee’s knocks also went unanswered.

Police were called to the home, forced their way in and found Cuba’s body. Officials said no foul play is expected.
