West Hollywood.... literally a flamer
Probably it wasn't wise to go with Irwin Mainway's "Johnny Human Torch" costume.
WeHo? Is this the same party where the “sex workers” were signing each other up for ObamaCare?
Spontaneous human combustion?
He knew exactly what he wanted to be for WeHo Halloween
How many young healthy twinks need to sign up for Obamacare to offset each pre-existing case of full-blown extra virulent HIV amongst the NoHo and WeHo faggot population?
Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It’s just not really widely reported.
Not a good way to go.
May he Rest In Peace.
I think we know who the pyromaniacs are now.
I think it probably did not help that his costume was likely very flammable as is the case of cheap fabric.
I know a gal that glued cotton balls all over her clothes with model cement as a Halloween costume.
I Guess she thought she was the Michiellen man or a stay puffed marshmallow
Well she lit a cigarette and the rest is history,
She still is a lovely lady.
Sometimes dumb stuff happens
Probably went as a candle wick.
I witnessed two knuckle heads do that on a construction site. They were gluing wall insulation into place in the basement of a house under construction, using Contact cement by the bucket full, and slopping it on with a mop. One guy decided to take a smoke break. Before I could call out to stop him, he thumbed the striker on his Zippo lighter. The results were spectacular.
One ingredient was more than likely alcohol.
Pretty volatile stuff.
