HIGH POINT, N.C. — High Point police said they have reason to believe that a man who died after a house fire Wednesday night had injuries not "solely" related to the fire.
Police said they got a call to Burge Place in High Point just before 10 p.m. about a house fire where they found a man who was badly burnt.
Investigators identified 41-year-old Omar Noriega as the man who was badly burnt.
Noriega was taken to the hospital where he later died from injuries, according to police.
After an investigation, detectives said Noriega had injuries that were not solely related to the fire, which prompted them to investigate his death as a murder.
This investigation is ongoing.
