## Resource

An 80-year-old man, Gerald Gutekunst, intentionally set fire to his Nashua apartment on July 21, 2026, in a tragic act of suicide-murder arson that claimed his life and killed 66-year-old resident Scott Thomas. The blaze, which spread rapidly, forced seven others to escape safely. Authorities classified the incident as both suicide and homicide, citing fire patterns and Gutekunst’s prior 2019 fire-related charges—then dismissed due to incompetence to stand trial.
