A fire destroyed a lake house in Whitehouse, Texas early Wednesday morning. And while that’s not usually the sort of thing we’d cover here, we point it out because the home was owned by Paul Manziel, the grandfather of Johnny Manziel. Furthermore, local Fire Marshal Jay Brooks told multiple news outlets in Texas that the fire has been deemed “suspicious” and that arson investigators are expected to arrive at the scene of the fire this morning to look into what happened.
Manziel’s girlfriend Beverly Green released a brief statement to CBS19 about the fire:
Everything Paul loved and cherished was in that home. He loved his house. Thank you to friends and family for all of your prayers. We are just blessed no one was in the house and everyone is safe.
