Steff Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Bee Regional Staff Published 2:15 am PST Thursday, November 18, 2004 Placer County sheriff's officers are speculating that a Colfax man who was found burned to death this month had stuck his booted feet in an oven to warm them. The boots apparently caught fire and the victim ran through the house as other clothing began to catch fire, said Lt. George Malim. The man then ran outside, fell on a pile of broken bottles, got up and tried to run again before collapsing and dying in the back yard, Malim said. "It had to be a horrible and painful death as he ran in a panic," Malim said. "He lived alone. No one was there to help." The victim, Grant John Wilson, 43, had a history of mental illness, the lieutenant said. Wilson's father discovered the body at his son's home on Placer Hills Road when he went to check on him, Malim said. It appeared the body had been there for several days, he said. Investigators found the oven turned on and its door open, leading them to believe Wilson had put his feet inside, Malim said. http://www.sacbee.com/content/community_ne...-12364276c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Investigators found the oven turned on and its door open, leading them to believe Wilson had put his feet inside, Malim said. That sure would be my first idea why someone had their oven open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
