SEATTLE -- Seattle police officers arrived at an apartment building in north Seattle Tuesday night to find the body of a person who had been burned in a fire, reported KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.

Police said they responded after receiving a 911 call about something or someone being on fire at Northeast 42rd Street and Roosevelt Way Northeast. When officers arrived, they found the body of a man who had been burned.

Police said the man was afire when he fell or jumped from the third or fourth floor of a parking garage and landed in an alley.

Seattle police spokesman Renee Witt said there was an odor of gasoline on the man's body and it appeared that no foul play was involved in the victim's death.

Neighbors said they tried to put out the fire with hoses and fire extinguishers.
