Levittown, PA: Levittown man set fire that killed him, girlfriend says

A Levittown man who apparently doused his house with gasoline and died in the fire was identified by authorities on Tuesday as Dominic Morabito.

Firefighters found Morabito's body Monday afternoon behind his charred two-story home on Red Maple Lane in Bristol Township.

Authorities said Morabito had argued with his girlfriend and ordered her to leave the house.

When she returned to retrieve her purse, she saw him "pouring some type of fluid on the floor," said Bucks County Deputy District Attorney Marc Furber.

An autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday morning, said Coroner Joseph Campbell.
