A lake house that burned down early Wednesday morning in Whitehouse, Texas, belonged to Johnny Manziel's family, and, according to WKYC, the nature of the fire is suspicious.

WKYC reports that nobody was in the house at the time of the fire. When the fire department responded, around 1:30 in the morning, the whole house was already up in flames.

Smith County Fire Marshal Jay Brooks said that the fire was suspicious in nature, and that they are investigating thoroughly. Both arson canines and arson investigators from the State Fire Marshals Office have been called upon to investigate.
