 Daniel Wood burst into flames after police tried to subdue him with a Taser gun. He had been sniffing from an aerosol can
A homeless man caught fire after U.S. police shocked him with a Taser gun, it has been revealed.

Daniel Wood, 31, was allegedly sniffing gas from an aerosol can as he ran through traffic when he was chased by two officers in Lancaster, Ohio.
One officer caught Wood and got him on the ground, where Wood continued to resist, according to the police report.
Another officer shouted a warning, then zapped Wood with the Taser, the report said.
Wood immediately burst into flames that covered his torso.
The officers were forced to drop their weapons and beat out the flames.

Wood said: 'My complete right half of my upper body is burned.
'I have bandages from my wrist all the way up my arm and across my chest.'

He admitted he had been inhaling vapours from a chemical cleaner in an attempt to get 'high'.
Wood had been resisting arrest by attempting to bite the officers and lashing out with his feet.

He admitted to trying to bite and kick the officers - sounds like the PERFECT time to use a taser. The burns are just a "life lesson."

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

The more I read on spontaneous combustion the stranger it gets.

The fire starts INSIDE the body and burns outward. If indeed it is fire, the victims are all clothed at the time but sometime their shoes are left intact.

That poor guy gets high high as heck on fumes then finds himself on fire, he has the look of a man having a revaluation of some kind.

Solvent sniffers bursting into flame when getting a dose of Mr Taser isn't unprecedented :
