Investigative authorities began checking in connection with a mysterious story that happened in one of the Kaluga post offices. Here, out of the blue, a man born in 1954 caught fire.
According to the Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia in the Kaluga Region, on July 18 at about 11 am he entered the building of the post office, and suddenly, a few minutes later, his clothes suddenly caught fire. Eyewitnesses of the mysterious incident extinguished the flame with a fire extinguisher, but in the intensive care unit it turned out that 90 percent of the man's skin was burned.
On July 20, the man died in intensive care.
Initially, the media wrote about the deliberate self-immolation of a pensioner in protest against non-payment of pension. But then other information began to arrive and the version of self-arson was questioned.
The Office of the Federal Postal Service of the Kaluga Region reports that this man did not receive payments through the mail. Before the incident, he did not contact the postal operators.
According to eyewitnesses, the man did not shout anything, did not pour any liquid on himself. Investigators removed fire debris from the scene, and a fire-technical study will help to find out the causes of the fire.
