A man died after being engulfed in flames and running from a portable toilet that was also on fire in the parking lot of M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Sunday afternoon.
Police said on Monday that the incident did not appear to be criminal in nature. A fire department spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment Monday.
The man was seen, running and on fire, by a security guard for M&T Bank Stadium around 3 p.m., according to Blair Skinner, a spokeswoman for the Baltimore Fire Department, said Sunday. By the time medics arrived, the man was dead and three portable toilets were on fire. It wasn’t clear how long he had been in the toilet or what had caused the fire. Skinner said arson teams with the Baltimore Police Department would be investigating.

Oh crap!
Guessing he had “lit pipe” in there...and there may have been more “flammables” inside.
Smokin’ in the boys’ room ...
“He died peacefully in his sleep.”
Methane + lit cigarette = trouble
It’s a gas gas gas!
hmmm
Maybe he was ‘living’ in one of the johnny-on-the-spots and started a fire to keep warm and the stored methane gas exploded.
OR
He started his ‘warming fire’ in the storage section and it went up????
Beans and kim-chi will do that.
There should be no methane in a portable toilet if the proper chemicals were added to the toilet’s tank.
These toilets are also well ventilated there should not be any build up of gases.
More likely he was cooking meth in a soda bottle that exploded on him.
At least he didn’t threaten to blow the place up
Freebasing? Didn’t something like this happen to late comedian Richard Pryor? His life and career were forever changed.
theoretically, there should be no stored gas, as the toilets are vented, so you don’t asphyxiate.
ROFLOL!!!
I hate when that happens!
I’m just here for the puns.
That was my first thought...................
...another fine example of those folks who can decide for themselves how they want to live....very sad to see the human commodey unfold or explode in this case.
Where are the Mythbusters when you really need them?
Maybe he got ahold of some bad burritos and in the process of ditching them lit a cigarette in that combustion chamber and ignited an enormous blue dart.
