Story of 1605 Bellevue Fire Keeps Getting Worse

The Medical Examiner's office now says that the lone hold-out who died in the Marion Apartments fire, Ed Jackson, shot himself in the head. We'd been wondering about that ever since CHS mentioned yesterday that a gun had been found at the scene. It's beginning to seem likely that Jackson, a former apartment manager there, set the fire himself on the morning he was due to be evicted, then committed suicide. The Marion Apartments were going to be demolished and the lot developed.

No worries. No need to thank me every time I produce gold. It's just so common.

Not to sound insensitive, but I assume they are going to tear this building down soon?
