Man found in bed, on fire pronouced dead

A Pompano Beach man whose tenant found him engulfed in flames in his bed Sunday morning has died in the hospital.

The 65-year-old owner of the home died from second- and third-degree burns to his face, neck, arms and chest while at Jackson Memorial Hospital's burn center Monday morning.

The man was said to be smoking in his bed, which was the reason for the blaze.

He also had some weapons and explosives in his apartment which contributed to the fire spreading.

He was careless and the result is that he lost his life.

I wonder why they didn't take a picture to go with this story. Might have been too graphic.
