Man found dead in Easton died before fire
EASTON — State Fire Marshal Peter J. Ostroskey, Easton Fire Chief Kevin Partridge, and Easton Police Chief Gary Sullivan announced that the cause of yesterday’s fire at 42 Dean Street in Easton is accidental. There is no evidence of an intentionally-set fire. The fire will remain officially undetermined as there are several possible causes in the basement area where the fire started, including a space heater and extension cords.
The body of a man believed to be the homeowner, 84-year old David Berman, was found in the basement. It appears he did not die as a result of the fire, but had died previously.
The fire was jointly investigated by the Easton Fire and Police Departments and State Police assigned to both the Office of the State Fire Marshal and the Office of the Bristol County District Attorney. Assistance was received from State Police Crime Scene Services and the Department of Fire Services’ Code Compliance and Enforcement Unit.
