A U.S. citizen who survived imprisonment in North Korea died in a fire in San Diego, authorities said Tuesday.

The victim was identified as 38-year-old Aijalon Mahli Gomes, who had recently moved to the city from Boston.

According to a police press statement, an off-duty police officer spotted Gomes engulfed in flames in a dirt field at 11:30 p.m. on November 17. He stopped to provide aid and called firefighters, who eventually pronounced the man dead at the scene.

“The preliminary investigation indicates the death is not a homicide but rather an accidental death or suicide," the police said. "A final determination cannot be made until the Medical Examiner completes their investigation.”
