University of Washington students are being praised for trying to save the life of a 61-year-old man who doused himself in gasoline and set himself on fire Thursday in Red Square.
Despite the efforts of more than a half-dozen students who initially tried to beat down the flames with their clothes and later used fire extinguishers, the man — a former UW employee — died Thursday afternoon at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
"It really is phenomenal how people tried to help him out," said Ralph Robinson, an assistant UW Police Chief. "It says a lot about the caring community of the entire university. People reacted almost instantaneously, even though there was some danger to themselves."
Some new details about the man emerged Friday, although authorities have not released his name pending notification of his next of kin.

This is Bill that helped you on your slides on PTSD. Did you get out of the regular web site business? I still get email from you that is passed on by Patch and noticed your namguardianangle.org site

Hi Bill
ReplyDeleteI think of you often after all the help you gave me. There are over 20 videos on PTSD now. You helped me a great deal.
I'm a Chaplain now and even won and award for the videos.
I'm still with the same website but have no time at all to do anything with it. It's always been Namguardianangel.org but if you remember, when it comes to understanding anything about websites, I still know hardly nothing. Spending too much time on PTSD does not allow any time to learn.
