Musician Dies After Setting Himself On Fire Near Ex-Girlfriends Job During Facebook Live Stream

According to WREG, a Memphis man by the name of Jared McLemore Facebook Live streamed himself being doused in kerosene before becoming engulfed in flames near his ex-girlfriend's workplace.

McLemore, who was a musician in the city, ran into a local Memphis bar screaming after he set himself aflame and shocked everyone there. Many people were unsure of what was happening, thinking that the man on fire might be trying to pull a stunt or a prank, but they later realized that the situation was all too real.

Some bystanders were burned in the process of trying to put out the fire and remove the lighter from McLemore's hand. After being taken to a hospital, McLemore died as a result of his burns.

The ex of the victim filed a restraining order against McLemore before the incident. McLemore and his ex-girlfriend also had a history of domestic abuse.

Facebook has gotten in a lot of hot water over the last month for the Facebook Live stream of the tragic Easter Sunday Killing, and this just adds to the fear of what will be allowed in this new age of mass viewing social media.
