Authorities reportedly responded around 9:30 p.m. to a request for a well-being check along with a separate report of a fire.
When they arrived, authorities say they found a man outside the front of the house with a fire blazing on the lawn.
"As the emergency personnel realized that it was a body that was burning, the male subject ran into the house and locked the door," O'Keefe and Calise said in a joint statement.
