A man who set himself on fire in front of the curia in Krakow has died

According to Edyta Przybylska, spokeswoman for Rydygiera Hospital, the man died in the hospital at 21.

Dramatic scenes took place on Monday around 4:20 a.m. in Krakow at 3 Franciszkańska Street, near the famous papal window. According to the spokesman for the Małopolska Guard, Capt. Hubert Ciepły, when firefighters arrived at the scene, the man was completely on fire.

— We managed to extinguish it by giving water. The injured person, with extensive burns, was handed over to the emergency medical team, which transported him to the hospital, said Hubert Ciepły.

The man’s identity was established based on the documents he had with him. It is known that he is a resident of one of the towns near Krakow. It turned out that the 47-year-old was known to the police.

The police comment on information about abortion leaflets

However, the Krakow police do not confirm these reports. Such information is not included in the report on police activities at the scene. The officers also do not confirm reports that the man drank it before dousing himself with the flammable liquid.

The surveillance footage only shows the 47-year-old raising a bottle of liquid over his head as if he wanted to pour it on himself. – The detailed circumstances of this incident will be examined by the prosecutor’s investigation – the spokeswoman for the Małopolska police puts an end to the speculations.

The man was known to the police. “He lived in the car”

The police do not yet know the man’s motives. But as Onet found out, he was known to the police near Krakow. As we hear, family and health problems could have pushed him to take this dramatic step.

— The car in which he arrived in Krakow was secured in a police parking lot. What it looks like inside may indicate that this man lived in this car. There are clothes and food leftovers in it, we hear from the police.

Initially, their suspicions are not directed towards the theory about the man’s political manifesto.
