Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Technically I can't confirm he's dead, but I highly doubt he would want to be alive based on the last vid.

As celebrations were underway after Vietnam's soccer team won the first leg in the 2026 ASEAN Championship final against Thailand, a man committed self-immolation near Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon. Many on social media believe the man committed the act after losing a bet related to the soccer match.

Dude got himself well entangled on those park benches.. They are the metal ones so they held him like a brisket

Last video of his post burning movements/spasms while a nation celebrates is one of the most surreal vids on DR IMHO. He obviously bet against the home team, bet they regretted putting him out. How often do you go to a nationwide celebration with honking horns, women flashing their tits and there is a guy engulfed in flames?

I dont get it. His body looked like it's fat was burning after the accelerant burned away, self sustaining hot grease body fire like you see in Ukraine war drone kills. Why does the body continue to stay upright and hold the chair?

2nd video at 24 seconds, "Ghost Rider!"

Edit: "While eye-witness reports of self-immolations often describe individuals "moving" or "holding their posture" for several minutes, forensic pathology confirms that any physical movements past the initial 45 to 60 seconds are thermal, structural, and neuromuscular reactions—not conscious human movement." - Big Brother (google)

Douse those towels or shirts or whatever they are with water and wrap them around him instead of beating him with those material things and the fire will go out quicker.

Reminds me of the description by EMS personnel of those they pulled out of the Station Nightclub Fire who were still responsive but almost totally charcoal.

I don't understand the last video. After they put the fire out, everyone just left? No ambulance? Just weird to me.

I wouldn't try to put that out if someone had gotten that far because it would just prolong their suffering.

All ambulances were being used in the celebration parade. This guy was just a flamer anyway, a wet blanket, a spoilsport.

Whoever firmed the last video deserves an award. Truly haunting scene. Almost movie like.
