Colfax man dies following bizarre mishap at home

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.

That sure would be my first idea why someone had their oven open. :unsure:

Man, that reminds of that one family guy episode.

Poor guy.

Should of jumped in the shower...

So, he set himself on fire, ran around spreading the fire and then fell on a bunch of broken bottles...

 

Wowzer.

I am going to hell for lmao I wonder if alcohol may have been involved?

 

Poor bastard. RIP

It sounds like something from the movie Final Destination.

Grant John Wilson, 43, had a history of mental illness
