WASHINGTON (AP) — The man who set himself on fire on the National Mall and later died was identified Monday, though police had no more information on his possible reasons.

John Constantino, 64, of Mount Laurel, N.J., had burns so severe that authorities needed to use DNA and dental records to identify him. District of Columbia police spokesman Paul Metcalf in an emailed statement confirmed his identity.
