Footage CCTV:
Jared McLemore, Aged 33 year old
Backstory
Washington – A US man died at a hospital after live streaming his suicide on social networking site Facebook, the media reported on Saturday.
According to witnesses, Jared McLemore, 33, a well-known musician in Memphis, ran into Murphy's bar early Saturday morning seconds after setting himself on fire in a parking lot across the street.
The live-stream shows McLemore dousing himself with kerosene. The frantic screams of witnesses can be heard in the background.
"This overwhelming smell of kerosene filled the room," Jim Duckworth, a witness was quoted as saying to wreg.com.
"It looked like a movie, like someone wearing a flame-retardant suit...There were some people who thought that it was a joke," Kimberly Koehler, another witness.
Koehler said McLemore's former girlfriend, against whom he has a history of domestic violence, was working just a feet away.
"It was almost like he waited for us to be over so that he would be the centre of attention. He wanted it to go down in some sick way and for everybody to see it," Koehler said.
Court records show McLemore was arrested in August 2016 after strangling his former girlfriend and threatening to kill her on two different occasions one day apart.
He was ordered to undergo mental evaluations and was sentenced to probation in April 2017 on domestic assault charges.
Another man was seriously burned trying to kick the lighter out of McLemore's hand, but he is expected to be okay, the police said.
Death
On May 13, 2017, shortly after midnight, McLemore committed suicide by Self-immolation. He set himself on fire while streaming on Facebook Live.
He was sitting in the street of 1500 block of Madison Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee when he lit himself on fire then ran into a nearby bar, Murphy's Bar.
McLemore's ex-girlfriend was reportedly in the bar and witnesses say he shouted that she made him do it.
Another man, a songwriter named Paul Garner, was burned when attempting to aid McLemore. Both were transported to Regional One health center where McLemore died from severe burns.
Garner has stated that the Memphis Police Department is to blame for not stopping McLemore even though he had been reported as a danger multiple times.

It's like they assume fire doesn't hurt, when they light up you can hear the screams of regret "Oh wait it does hurt!"

Folks, there are way way less painful ways to go. I never get the fire thing. I don't think they thought it out very well.

Shock factor for someone else. Ppl do it for different reasons so imo it just depends on the reason. A bullied person will jump, most men use a gun and woman take pills. All relevant i guess in the game of take yourself out.

The guy had serious mental health issues obviously. I wouldn't go as far as call him idiot. He's crazy, a looney. Luckily he did it to himself and didn't hurt anyone else. Sucks he didn't receive the help he needed or it just didn't work. I mean, burning yourself is some serious shit and whatever mental shit he was going through must've been next level to take it to that point.

Thankfully, he didn't hurt his girlfriend (again) while he was killing himself - but he did it right in front of her work - so he wanted her to feel guilty, and he wanted her attention.
He was convicted of domesitic violence, and 'therapy' or treatment was ordered - but this case illustrates the difficulty of these cases. You never really know if psychological counselling has worked - and should the state keep him locked up until the psychiatrists are SURE that he won't hurt his ex again or himself? The science of psychiatry is partly a guessing game - educated guessing, but guessing.

Fuck Fuck McFuck. That is some warped cuckoo shit right there - props to him for using kerosene instead of gasoline, though. But yes, how crazy do you have to be to do this (especially when part of the motive seems to be 'getting back at' an ex who has rejected you) - pretty crazy, I'd say.

what happens when u use kerosene vs. gasoline?
Jump in the discussion.

Gasoline is more volatile than kerosene, and will ignite more easily than kerosene - seems to me kerosene is probably safer for everyone else who just happens to be around when some nut decides to have themselves go up in flames. Probably a longer burn time than gasoline as well so that means the human torch can stay alight for longer and therefore increase the severity of the burns they are giving themselves. You've seen those videos where some arsonist uses gasoline and the vapors invisibly creep along the ground as they're pouring all over so when they strike a spark or a match they might think they're standing far enough away to be safe but they end up in the flame zone due to the fuel vapors igniting some distance away from where they dumped the actual liquid. Kerosene is less likely to do that - although safety probably falls pretty far down on the list of stuff to pay attention to for someone that's planning on lighting themselves on fire...
