Man Burns Himself Alive In Red Square

According to the Times, a guy set himself on fire over in Red Square at the University of Washington this afternoon! He is still alive, 61 years of age, and not on fire anymore. Authorities haven't figured out why he did it, though they found a lab coat and a pair of goggles on the ground by him and it has been determined that he soaked himself in gasoline beforehand. Update: He died later this afternoon. Thanks to Wesa for the new info.

    "a lab coat and a pair of goggles on the ground"

    Clearly a science experiment gone wrong.
