An 89-year-old man whose body was found in a Capitol Hill apartment building that caught fire Monday killed himself with a gunshot wound to the head, the King County Medical Examiner's Office said Tuesday.
Fire officials determined that the blaze at 1605 Bellevue Ave. was started deliberately and began in the man's first-floor unit. Seattle police are investigating the arson.
Edward Jackson, longtime building manager at the apartments, was supposed to move out that day because the building was going to be torn down to make way for condominiums.
