SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A man was arrested on suspicion of murder and other crimes Saturday in the death of a 74-year-old man whose body was found by firefighters after extinguishing a fire at a home.

Salt Lake police announced that the death of John Peel, 74, was being investigated as a homicide and said they planned to give more information about the arrest of Maxwell Wolcott, 28, in the afternoon.

According to jail records, he is also being held on suspicion of aggravated arson, aggravated burglary, abuse of a dead human body and obstruction of justice. It is not clear if he has an attorney.

After responding to the fire at Peel’s home on Friday morning, crews quickly extinguished the blaze burning on the front porch and inside the house. When they went in, they found Peel’s body, Division Chief Ryan Mellor of the Salt Lake City Fire Department said.

Officials initially said say they did not know whether the man died because of the fire or for another reason. Neighbors reported the fire after hearing screaming and seeing flames.
