A fire that destroyed singer Aretha Franklin's 12-bedroom home in Michigan last year was intentionally triggered, say investigators.
The Oak County Prosecuter's Office is reviewing a report on the blaze early on October 25 that burned through the 60-year-old star's unoccupied home in the Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Township.
Bloomfield Township Police Chief Jeffrey Werner says, "No one's in custody, but we believe we know who set it."
Prosecutor David Gorcyca adds, "There are three separate points of origin in one room in the house. The chemicals are similar to, and maybe, lighter fluid. A known accelerant was used."
The "Respect" singer, who was on tour at the time of the blaze, primarily uses the house for storage and lives in another in the same township.
