French boy lights self on fire at school |
2011-01-18 |
A teenaged student in Marseille was hospitalized in critical condition after lighting himself on fire at school. The lad poured a flammable liquid on himself in the restroom of his private school and then set himself alight. He has second and third degrees burns over 70% of his body. It is not yet clear why he did it. A fellow student said he heard screams, then saw the teen on fire running downstairs towards the school yard. He said that a worker extinguished the flames. Another student from Bordeaux has been in a coma since last November when he set himself on fire at school. |

#3 I've been serverly burned. I was begging anyone to make the pain stop. Even morphine didn't help. |

#2 Lot of people burning themselves today. Reminds me of the Buddhists in Vietnam. Has to be the most painful way to die, and if you manage to survive the attempt I suspect you'd wish you'd died. |

#1 Seems to me like a reflection on the quality of education given by that school. |
