HILLTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A man awaiting trial on rape and kidnapping charges in connection with an alleged crime New Year’s Day died in a fire at his suburban Philadelphia home following a standoff with police, authorities said.

Curtis Fish, 48, died of smoke inhalation following Tuesday afternoon’s blaze in Hilltown Township, the Bucks County coroner’s office said Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Fish got into a confrontation with a pedestrian while on a motorcycle and then smashed the windows of a nearby tavern, the county district attorney’s office said. An officer deployed a stun gun, but it wasn’t effective and Fish was able to enter his home.

Township police and Special Response Team officers surrounded the residence, and authorities said Fish then “lit and threw M-80-type fireworks at police.” The home was soon afterward engulfed in flames, which were extinguished at about 3 p.m. Tuesday, and the suspect’s body was found inside, authorities said.

Sounds more like a Fish fry.

I've seen him before



Maybe he got infected with the thing and could only be killed by fire?

This is halfway from Bethlehem to Philly. I have been in both. Really makes you think...

Will this death be listed as a Covid-19 in PA?

Kind of looks like James Woods from Casino.

The terror he must have felt when he realized he was a Fish out of water.
