FDNY Puts Out Fire, Finds Body

2006_11_fire.jpgLate last night, firefighters got a 911 about a a basement fire in a Bed-Stuy building on Madison Street. After putting out the fire, they found a man's body. And not only that, the man's hand were bound with duct tape.

The man has not been identified yet, but apparently he was one of two residents in the building (the other called 911). It's unclear whether the man was alive before the fire or died during the fire. WABC reports that police did find an accelerant at the scene.
