Woman mistakenly set self afire, dies
MILWAUKEE - A woman died of burns Tuesday after trying to set her boyfriend on fire, police said.
Police and fire officials found the 31-year-old woman standing in front of her apartment building early Tuesday with second and third-degree burns over 90 percent of her body, Sgt. Kenneth Harris said.
"She got into an argument with her boyfriend and she attempted to douse him with lighter fluid and in dousing him, she doused herself," Harris said. The woman used a cigarette lighter to ignite the fire.
Harris said her 57-year-old boyfriend was treated for minor injuries and was arrested on a drug-related charge.
