LIVINGSTON, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A New Jersey doctor may have set the fire in which he was found dead, investigators say.

Yacoub was a doctor at St. Barnabas Medical Center.

The Essex County Prosecutor's Office says the cause and origin of the fire is under investigation. But the preliminary investigation indicates the doctor may have set it.

An autopsy is pending.
