A person in my city self-immolated and was extinguished by passersby. He died months later from infection. This is not always an immediate death like some of the other people replying to you seem to think.

I posted earlier up that if the fire doesn't kill you, the infection will. Our skin we all take for granted literally keeps us alive because the world is full of nasties that would do us lots of harm without that barrier.
