Deadly Parking Garage Fire in the U District

Things have been relatively quiet in the U District--until last night, when a 911 call came in at 9:05 p.m. that someone or something was on fire, as flames raged from the third or fourth story of a parking garage at NE 43rd Street and 11th Avenue NE. Police say the man, riddled with the smell of gasoline, fell or jumped from the structure and landed in the alley below. KOMO-TV reports that neighbors rushed outside to the alley and discovered the man still on fire. Despite valiant attempts to extinguish the flames, the person died on the scene. Weirdly, police say the fire was not accidental, nor was it suspicious. Whaaaa?

    It's not accidental or suspicious because the guy set himself on fire. Seems pretty obvious.
