    Whilst I have every sympathy with the chap's family and I wouldn't like to see anybody die, I would say that it was an incredibly selfish, reckless and irresponsible thing to do. His criminal act could have killed or seriously injured innocent bystanders. Why did he have to involve anybody else in his suicide attempt?

    Yeah man, I know that. He obviously was totally fecked up in the head to do it. I just hope it wasn't something like him being refused a job in Tesco that led him to doing something as desperate as that.

    he didnt do it to involve others. He went into tesco to get something flammable [what, i dont know]

    He's obviously not mentally well, so I dont think you should be so harsh on him, you dont even know him

    His burns were so bad that they had to wrap most of him in foil. The security lads were in bits - understandably. I feel sorry for anyone witnesing that:(

    Yes I have more sympathy for the people that withnessed it than I do for him. Apparently he has 90% burns to his body. That is a really desperate thing to happen.
