Man Badly Burned, No Sign of Fire
By: L Jones
How can someone get burned without fire? That’s exactly what fire investigators are trying to determine after discovering a 56-year old man severely burned in his apartment; the only sign of fire was a candle.
Members of the Knoxville Fire crew heard the victim moaning when they knocked on his Cagle Terrace Apartment door. They found the man in the bathroom with third degree burns on his face and second degree burns on his hands. The victim’s name has not yet been released.
When I first read this news article, the first thing that came to my mind was Constantine. You know, the movie with Keanu Reeves who stars as the boy who committed suicide, escaped from hell and finds out that he’s dying from lung cancer.
I started wondering, what the hell was going on in the victim’s bathroom? Was there something supernatural going on. A trip to and from hell that went awry? I’m sure in the upcoming days, some story will be told to satisfy the curiosity of the interested; people like myself. But will it be the real story or just some fabricated tale to keep us all in line and focused on things that one day, won’t seem that important. I wonder.
