Self-Immolation

On a Friday night, a man had died because of single handedly setting himself on fire in the center of the National Mall, Washington D.C.  Katy Scheflen, a witness at the time of this event had said: "He was standing by himself in the center portion of the Mall when he emptied the contents of a red gasoline can on himself and set himself on fire moments later. This man was alive when the fire had started spreading to his body rapidly as passing joggers took their shirts off to extinguish the flames. Scheflen, the witness also reported she had seen a tripod set up near the incident. So far, it is unclear whether this man recorded the incident. This man was burned so harshly, he can only be identified by DNA and dental records.
