Thanks for the link. The Few story seems to have developed from a resume issue to a criminal matter.
I'm wondering if the guy was on fire, that sounds like liquids involved. First thought - gasoline. But maybe this is work-related, and he screwed up with some cleaning or other chemicals?
There are lots of perfectly innocent and totally freaky accidents with varios chemicals that are perfectly plausible that come to mind.
I wonder if the guy is a pool cleaner....
