A Memphis man set himself on fire early Saturday morning on Facebook Live and then ran into Murphy’s Bar to meet his ex-girlfriend.
It happened shortly after midnight in the 1500 block of Madison Avenue.
The video shows the man, Jared McLemore, dousing himself in a liquid from a metal can before setting himself alight.
A bystander had seen him douse him and had approached him to help just before he went up in flames.
McLemore’s ex-girlfriend was reportedly in the bar and witnesses say he shouted that she ‘made’ him do it.
WREG has uncovered domestic violence charges against McLemore and a restraining order.
Police say both men suffered severe burns, with Jared ending up in a critical condition.
Online reports coming in from Facebook this morning indicate that Jared McLemore had passed away from the severe burns.
