NEW ORLEANS Someone stabbed a 45-year-old plastic surgeon to death, then set fire to his French Quarter home early Saturday.
Firefighters found the body on the second floor after breaking into the "the heavily secured structure" about 3 a.m. because neighbors said the occupant might be inside, said Edwin Holmes, a New Orleans Fire Department spokesman.
He had been stabbed, police said.
Coroner's investigator John Gagliano identified the victim as Ralph Newsome. He was 45 years old and taught plastic surgery at Tulane University's School of Medicine, university spokesman Keith Brannon said.
Investigators found flammable liquid, probably gasoline, that may have been used to start and spread the flames, Holmes said.
