Fire That Killed NE Man Was Intentionally Set

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — An investigator says a fire at a Lincoln apartment where a man died last week was intentionally set.

City Fire Investigator Tony Chapp says it’s not clear who set the fire, and he wouldn’t say if police are looking for suspects.

Authorities say firefighters found the body of 67-year-old John Strobel Jr. in his second-floor apartment where the fire started last Friday. No cause of death has been released, pending results of an autopsy.
