Woman Lights Herself On Fire Causing Mall Closure – cbs4.com — Let’s hope this does not become a trend! And where are all the camera phone pics of this event?
Witness Jose Morales described what he saw. “Whatever she threw on herself, it looked like movie, Hollywood stunt stuff,” he said. “She kept on walking not screaming not nothing.”Meanwhile, mall officials said fire and police officials forced them to shut down the mall.”The mall is closed until the fire department and police release the order and as we clean up,” Myrna Lee, assistant property manager.According to the newspaper, a Good Samaritan pushed the woman to the ground in an attempt to extinguish the fire. Two other people used fire extinguishers to help.The woman ran outside into the parking lot where firefighters found her with third-degree burns on more than 75 percent of her body. Police and fire officials are looking into a motive.
motive? she’s bleeping nuts
Very disturbing story.
Psychotic episode brought on by taking SSRIs maybe.
Aren’t there “NO SMOKING” signs everywhere?
Hopefully she was in the food court.
Fire Sale at the Mall! Mwaahahaha! Sorry.
They closed the mall? Wusses. Someone should have broken out weenies and marshmallows.
Women and their hot flashes. Sheesh!
What a way to go, just walking not screaming, how the hell would you endure that?
I think the humane thing would be to delay the extinguishers for a minute, cruel as it sounds.
Burns over 75% of her body, I’m sure the depression was bad to begin with, I’ll bet it will be amplified now.
Awful.
> hird-degree burns on more than 75 percent of her body
Very surprised she is still alive (actually not sure about that, doesn’t really say in the linked article)
She will wish she was dead now. Next time just step in front of a train.
Pretty disturbing. But better than the whack job who shot up the fitness center in PA.
Hopefully Apple will replace her iPod. Darn iPod batteries.
#13, Benny,
OK, that wins
🙂
She’ll not survive 75% third degree. Airway and lungs probably burned badly. There’s not much pain with third degree burns, the nerves are gone. Sounds more like a psychotic condition than depression. It’s much better for her if she doesn’t survive. Why are people surprised at mental illness?
Mall officials said police and fire “forced” them to shut down the mall? Huh? That’s the craziest part!
# 16, WTF! Somebody was set on fire like this and you don’t expect the police to seal off the location to find out what the circumstances were! Please, get some perspective and show some humanity.
#17 I read his post as no one should have tell them, they should have done it immediately. Bad thing about posting, you can’t see someone’s face to aid in interpretation. But I could be wrong and he thought whiffing burned flesh and hair wouldn’t put shoppers off.
Sorry brendal. I guess I misunderstood your post. Reading through the sick jokes from other people before I got to yours I must have flipped – completely got the wrong end of the stick!
Some how this has never been on my list of fun things to do.
If I were going to kill myself I’d prefer it be fast and pain free and this wasn’t.
