I was going to post a crude remark, but I was afraid I would be lambasted.

I hope this was accidental and not a practical joke that went horribly wrong.

If he was burned over 80% of his body, prayers probably should be that he dies in a morphine-induced state of peaceful painfreeness. :-( Poor man.

That would be for third degree burns. If 3rd degree, he has a 20% chance of survival, that's the worst case. Lighter burns mean higher chances.

That being said, morphine is GOOD...
