A Penn Hills man burned to death inside his home along Southern Avenue, police Chief Howard Burton reported.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office on Friday identified the victim as Herman Hill, 74.
Burton said Hill’s girlfriend had come by the house around 5:10 p.m. Thursday to pick him up for a doctor’s appointment when she found him dead in the kitchen.
Preliminary investigation indicated Hill was cooking something on the stove when flames erupted. Burton said it appeared Hill went to the sink to put out the flames when he caught fire.
