The San Francisco, California house which doubled as the family home in Robin Williams’ 1993 comedy Mrs. Doubtfire has been targeted in a double arson attack. The current owner, Dr. Douglas K. Ousterhout, noticed his doormat was on fire on Monday night (05Jan15) and soon discovered a second small blaze on the side of his garage in the Pacific Heights neighbourhood.
He put out the flames, which caused minor damage, and called police to report the incidents.
Police spokesman Albie Esparza tells USA Today, “We are following up on leads on the suspect. Nothing is confirmed.”
The property last appeared in the news in August (14), following the death of Williams, as fans placed flower tributes in his memory on the steps to the home.
