Fire fatality – Authorities identify man killed in Ocean Twp. blaze

OCEAN TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) -- Authorities have identified the man who was killed along with his dog when a fast-moving fire swept through his southern New Jersey home this week.

Ocean County prosecutors say 63-year-old Lee "Skip" D'Arcangelo died from smoke inhalation.

Firefighters found D'Arcangelo's body early Tuesday, after they extinguished the blaze at his Ocean Township home. Investigators have determined that the fire started in the kitchen, but the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

No other injuries were reported in the fire.
