Suicide By Fire Burns Three Louisiana Homes
ST. AMANT, La. - St. Amant Fire Chief James LeBlanc says a 47-year-old man reportedly set fire to a house in the Galvez community and then killed himself with a shotgun to the head.
LeBlanc tells The Advocate that the victim was identified as Michael D. Fielder. The incident, he says, stemmed from a faily dispute.
LeBlanc says the fire was reported at 7:35 a.m., and under control about 40 minutes later. He says the fire spread to two neighboring houses, but firefighters were able to save those houses.
The fire did not injure anyone.
