Bradford Man Dies of Burns

The Bradford man severely burned in a house fire Thursday has died at ECMC in Buffalo. 65-year-old Harold Peabody suffered burns on the majority of his body.

State police fire marshal Greg Agosti says Peabody was sitting in a chair in the living room of his Hawthorne Road home filling a lighter with lighter fluid. The fluid spilled onto his clothes, and when he lit the lighter the flame ignited the vapor on his clothes.

Agosti says Peabody attempted to take his clothes off and leave the house but he was overcome before reaching the front door.
