It's better to burn out than to fade away

My my, hey hey.

A man was killed when he apparently lit himself on fire and jumped from a bridge in Bridgeport Friday morning. Bridgeport Police Chief Steve Stanford said his office received a call around 6:40 a.m. from someone driving on Texas 114 at the bridge over the railroad in the south part of town. “We had a caller drive by and see a male subject pouring gasoline on himself,” Stanford said. “My guys arrived on the scene and did the best they could.” Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Jan Morrow pronounced the man dead at the scene and ordered the body be sent to the Dallas County Medical Examiner for an autopsy. Stanford said the man’s identity is not known at this time.

autopsy. 

I'm predicting cause of death is from the fire and the jumping off the bridge.

Cause of death was sudden de acceleration.  The fire bit was just fireworks.

Follow a rock truck. You'll wind up there eventually.

I'd light myself on fire, as well, if I lived in Bridgeport.

No serenade?  No fire brigade?
