HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — The Hudson County Arson Task Force is investigating a fire that killed a 37-year-old man in Guttenberg on Monday morning, prosecutors said.

Marcos Santa-Zayas was found with serious injuries in a home on Park Avenue on Monday, said the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office.

He was brought to Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen and pronounced dead at approximately 8:20 a.m., prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said that just after 7 a.m. on Monday, North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue was notified of a fire at 6914 Park Ave. in Guttenberg. First responders found fire coming from the third floor of a home, and found Santa-Zayas during fire suppression activities.

The cause and origin of the fire are still being investigated by the Hudson County Regional Arson Task Force, prosecutors said, but foul play is not suspected at this time.
