The man who died when his Elk River house burned set the fire on purpose in what police said today was a rare manner of suicide.
Corey R. Cook, 43, used a flammable liquid to start the fire Sunday morning in the 11400 block of 193rd Avenue, police said.
Police said Cook's home was under foreclosure. He died of smoke inhalation, police said.
No one else was in the home at the time.
