Apparently a gun was also drawn and aimed at him while he was set himself on conflagarion. I did have to look up conflagarian to make sure that I was using it correctly. I still don’t think I am. But if anybody else is curious about what happened to him, I think he’s alive and in a hospital. Saved you the click.

minus-squareWolf_359@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoI would say, “succumbed to the conflagration” or “took part in the conflagration.” But really, a conflagration is usually a much bigger fire that destroys entire buildings or cities. I think the better term would be self-immolation.
