www.privateofficer.com — Police say a 61-year-old man who stood out in the center of a university and set himself on fire has died.
Police said the man, who police have yet to release his name, set himself on fire in a crowded plaza at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Authorities said the man who set himself ablaze Thursday was a former staff member but don’t know what his job was, when he left, or why.
Several bystanders quickly moved in and tried to douse the flames and some tried to smother the flames with jackets and other clothing.
The man was taken to an area hospital with severe burns and succumbed to his injuries.
The King County medical examiner’s office has not identified the man.
