Calgary emergency officials are investigating the circumstances around a man who set himself on fire on Thursday morning.

Paramedics were called to the 100 block of 4th Avenue S.E. near the Harry Hays Building where they found a man, 40, with serious burns.

He had doused himself with a flammable liquid, then set himself on fire, said Stuart Brideaux, a spokesman for Calgary Emergency Medical Services.

The man suffered second-degree burns to 40 per cent of his body, including his back, face, hands and legs, Brideaux said.

Paramedics took him in serious but stable condition to the Foothills Hospital.
 
Still no update. But the incident was Twitpicked.

I'm thinking it was a SportsJournalists.commer who had read a certain poster's musings on the Robbie Alomar thread... and... just... had... enough.
 
I thought for a brief, glimmering moment that Bill Simmons finally came through on one of his threats.
 
Radio report I heard earlier today said he was having issues with Immigration.
