BRISTOL (AP) — The state Fire Marshal’s Office says a blaze at a Bristol home last month that killed a woman was intentionally set by the person who died.
The fire that killed 69-yearold Lynn Ring on Dec. 9 started in the garage and spread to the house. Ring’s husband, 70- year-old John Ring, suffered burns on his hands but survived.
A spokesman for the state Public Safety Department tells WABI-TV that an investigation determined that the couple had been arguing over their car, and Lynn Ring got angry and set the car on fire.
