PORTLAND, Maine - Investigators say the mobile home fire that killed a man in Saco overnight was set by man who died, and that no one else was involved.
Officials with the State Fire Marshal's office say they believe the victim is 71-year-old Stephen Laughton. Sgt. Joel Davis says Laughton lived alone.
"What we believe is that there were ignitable liquids poured throughout the building and around the house, such as gasoline or another ignitable liquid, and that's what was used to accelerate the fire," Davis says.
Davis says several propane tanks inside the mobile home may have been set off by the fire. Officials say a positive identification will come from the state Medical Examiner's Office.
