Sad: Man Burns Marine Van After GI Son's Death

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - A man set fire to a Marine Corps van and suffered severe burns Wednesday after he was told his Marine son had been killed in Iraq, police said.

Marines went to the house in Hollywood to tell the parents of a 20-year-old private first class that their son died Tuesday in Najaf, police said in a statement.

The man, whose name was not immediately released, then walked out of the house with a torch and what appeared to be a container of flammable liquid.

The Marines tried to stop him from starting the fire, but he set himself on fire in the process and was inside the burning van when the Marines pulled him out and put out the flames, police said.

The man was taken to a hospital but his condition was not immediately available.
