LYNN, Mass. (AP) - Investigators say a fatal fire in a Lynn apartment building late last month was intentionally set by the victim, who also apparently stabbed himself.
A spokeswoman for the Essex district attorney tells The Daily Item (https://bit.ly/2kT2mmy) says it’s unclear whether the fire or the stab wounds killed 41-year-old Alexander Joshua.
The fire on Beach Road on Jan. 29 also displaced 26 residents of the 20-unit apartment building.
Joshua lived in a third-floor apartment. The three-alarm fire started in his unit’s living room.
