A Trinidadian Police Officer, died at hospital 2 days after he sat in his car, poured gasoline on himself and set everything on fire in Trinidad on Sunday 8th Sept. 2018.

The police officer was on suspension after being charged earlier this year with multiple offences including arson, malicious damage, and assaulting two relatives.

Videos have emerged showing the 62-year-old man in a ball of flames stumbling about outside the burning car while a family member screams in the background.

He had been living in his car for several months after the court awarded his wife occupation of their marital home.

A quarrel over the property on Sunday morning is what police believe is what may have triggered off the homeless man to attempt suicide by setting himself on fire in the car which he called home.

President of the Police Social Welfare Association (PSWA) Insp Michael Seales said he did not know the circumstances of the court award but understands that he had been living in his car for the greater part of the year since he was ejected from the marital home.

“He had no fixed place of abode,” Seales confirmed in a telephone interview.

The video was posted on here a few weeks back so the date you have for it isn't correct. I don't think an update was done for it though nor the photo, so thanks for posting.
