CMC – In Belize a 31-year-old, Haitian national remains in a critical condition at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital (KHMH), after reportedly setting himself on fire last weekend.
Davidson Estiverne received various degrees of burns to the body when he set himself on fire inside a sports utility vehicle (SUV) and media reports said that prior to the act, he had been complaining about being overwhelmed with debt.
Surveillance footage from the area shows him fully engulfed in flames as he alights the vehicle.
But he said following an in-depth investigation it was discovered that “this gentleman actually tried to take his life by igniting himself in his vehicle.
“I really don’t know what Mr. Davidson was thinking about. We all know that he mentioned to his girlfriend that he was experiencing heavy financial debt. It is something that he figured he just couldn’t take the burden on no more. Truth be told, Mr. Davidson, you’ve just now officially racked up debts,” the NFC supervisor added.
