They are looking at dental records. It may be some time. It’s a rather grizzly way to go.

I’m not trying to be unkind; but I was wondering if the people who rushed over to try to put out his flames did him any favors. There is hardly any pain worse than severe burns.

Hope this man asked to be saved before he died, now that he knows what the Lake of Fire is all about.

With all the hoopla over the shutdown, I’ve heard or read very little on this story? Do you suppose there are some details embarrassing to the Driveler-in-Chief?

At least his family will get a discount on the cremation services.

I wonder if it was that, or was he mentally ill? Or was it like those protesters in the Vietnam days?

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to die that way, it seems like it would be very painful.

Being eaten by a bear is grisly and grizzly. And perhaps gristly too.

"Just like the Buddhist in Vietnam protesting. "

That was my first thought as well.

Self-immolation is not the American way of extreme protest. My guess is that this man was a foreigner. They do that a lot over in Asia and the Middle East.

Muslims only kill themselves in the hope of killing others at the same time.
