Self-Immolation Attempt in Waterfront Marriott Elevator

A woman tried to incinerate herself in an elevator at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront this morning, reports the Seattle Times:


The woman, who hasn't been identified, suffered burns to 60 percent of her body and was taken to Harborview Medical Center, said Seattle fire spokeswoman Sue Stangl. The woman had been a guest at the Marriott-Waterfront.

Firefighters were called to the hotel, which is at 2100 Alaskan Way, at 12:54 a.m. on report of a fire. The woman was found in an elevator on the fifth floor of the hotel, Stangl said.

The Marriott is just south of the Edgewater on Alaskan Way.

Well that sucks. That has to be the very worst way to try to kill yourself. Personally I can't think of anything more freaky than being burned alive.
