A 43-year-old man in North Carolina died Tuesday after drinking gasoline and lighting a cigarette, police there say.

Gary Allen Banning of Havelock, N.C., was taken to a local hospital late Monday after police responded to a 911 call from a resident reporting an apartment fire. Banning was transported to the University of North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center in Chapel Hill where he died early Tuesday. He had suffered severe burns.

According to police, Banning accidentally drank from a salsa jar containing gasoline at a friend's apartment, spitting it out and getting it on his clothes. He later lit the cigarette that ignited his clothes.

It seems that he realized that it was gasoline the moment
it was in his mouth. He spit it out, but it landed on his clothes which were ignited by the cigaret.

*****************************************

He knew it was on his clothes and he still lit a cigarette. That makes it even sadder.

Poor soul. Then again, perhaps an improvement in the gene pool.
