The man who set himself on fire outside Trump's hush money trial in New York has reportedly died from his injuries.
Max Azzarello, a 37-year-old from St. Augustine, Florida, reportedly died Friday night hours after the display, said to be 'an 'extreme act of protest...[against] a totalitarian con, and our own government' on the conspiracy theorist's own Substack.
The reported revelation was offered to The New York Post late Monday, hours after he doused himself in accelerant outside the courthouse before going up in flames.
Left in critical condition, Azzarello has since succumbed to those wounds, sources told the paper, as a series of social media posts - including some about Taylor Swift - show the protester's unstable state of mind before the bizarre display.
He threw a stack of pamphlets that included a link to a conspiracy-laden Substack before igniting himself with a lighter, in front of dozens of horrified witnesses.
'This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery,' Azzarello wrote in part of his online manifesto, billed as The Ponzi Papers.
'We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup.'
'Trump's in on it,' Azzarello reportedly told the Times on Thursday, saying his beliefs were influenced by research he had carried out into Peter Thiel, the venture capitalist behind companies like PayPal and Facebook.
'It's a secret kleptocracy, and it can only lead to an apocalyptic fascist coup,' he said.
Those quotes were offered as Trump's criminal trial entered its third day of jury selection over alleged falsified business records related to payments made to an ex-porn star during his campaign.
The GOP frontrunner was indicted last April, and denies any wrongdoing.

His death was inevitable. One can only live for so long with a destroyed organ (the epidermis).
No way he was going to survive burns of that magnitude.
Sadly, the burning is likely continuing.
His lungs also had to have to been burned out.
True.
Bible prophecy?
By all accounts he was “prepared” vis a vis his rambling manifesto.
But I pray that he was even more prepared to face the Great Judgment Seat of Christ!

If first responders had been quicker to show up with fire extinguishers, i.e. within a minute or so, he would likely have survived, albeit with serious burns.

AMEN. Two Peter Three Nine.
Really? God punishes those who have totally lost their mind? No.
Let’s pray not.
Yes.
Not really a tragedy. Certainly some bad choices.
Paraschou Kyrie!
I so agree mental illness is real. This person needed help and never got it. We will probably learn more in days to come about how ill in the head he really was and how his family could not help him.
He was a Bernie-supporter....I doubt if he dabbed in Bible chatter or prophecy. I would imagine he went off to that new movie (’Civil War’)...got a good dose of propaganda, and couldn’t handle it. Odd thing here...it is one less vote for Joe Biden (unless as a dead guy, he votes absentee).
Well he sure "Felt the Bern".
