A sad case of self-immolation with fossil fuels, to protest fossil fuels
A green activist who was a pioneering lawyer for gay and transgender rights including in the infamous Boys Dont Cry murder case committed suicide by setting himself on fire Saturday morning in Brooklyns Prospect Park.
In a gruesome protest against the ecological destruction of the earth, David Buckel, 60, left behind a charred corpse and a typed suicide note that said he was burning himself to death using fossil fuel to reflect how mankind was likewise killing itself, police sources said.
He left the note behind in a manila envelope marked To The Police, recovered from inside a black metal push cart he discarded at the scene.
Passersby were horrified to see Buckels blackened, prone remains.
It was just lying there, on its back, knees slightly bent like someone would lie on the sand at the beach, said Irena Ryjova, 44, who rollerbladed past at around 7 a.m., less than an hour after the immolation.
