Many reporters were on hand uploading photos of the catastrophe to Twitter, as reporters tend to do these days…

ESPN Dallas is reporting that officials are suspicious regarding the circumstances of the fire, as eye witnesses claim to have seen a car speeding away from the fire:

Alabama authorities have suspicions about a fire that gutted a mansion owned by Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain.

Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Lt. Andy Norris says a witness reported seeing a car speeding away from the scene of the blaze Monday night.

Norris says the vehicle could be a clue. He says it’s suspicious anytime a vacant, high-priced home burns down.

Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the blaze.

No one was home and no one was hurt. But authorities say the house is likely a total loss.
