Was the guy totally engulfed? If so, he very well may get what he wished for in the end.
Sad.
Yes, he was a walking fireball. I'll not be forgetting that sight too soon.
Hair, face, chest, arms, legs (wearing those B-Ball type shorts, they were melted and dripping off of him and on the towel),
I'm know his lungs were toasted, he was screaming so much during the 90 seconds or so it took to extinguish it all.
He was laying there while we worked on him saying "Just let me die..." over and over,
And I said at some point " dude, you're gonna wish you were if you make it past tomorrow..."
I took the towel in to RCPD for their investigation and the Detective who took it called it, "the suicide attempt".
So far, afaik, it's still just an attempt.
If he had really meant to die, the river was just another couple of hundred feet down the road. If he had wanted to, he could have driven down where he could have been seen, but not been accessible.
Of course, I'm the insane one by analyzing someone's irrational actions in a rational manner after the fact.
Yes indeed, sad, very sad.
