Dreams born of desire
Shaped and forged within the fire
Twisted, warped, deranged I see
The world's corrupt insanity

Seriously, what's so hard to believe about that? I'm not going to do it, the setting myself on fire part sounds painful, but all it takes is grim determination, a minute's preparation, and maybe a handful of Vicodin.

It's easy to believe someone else would be crazy enough to do that do her but not that she'd ever do it to herself? Maybe she liked the idea of going out in a blaze of purifying flames but had the gun handy just in case it was too painful or something went wrong.

CliChe Guevara: Dudes gonna fry, which would really suck if for some bizarre reason the chick really did decide to kill herself by self-immolation. mainly because even if she did, no one is going to believe it - so really it doesn't matter, dudes gonna fry.

Yep, that is what I was thinking.

Her last words were, "No one will believe you."

She was a big Bill Murray fan.

She also, while burning and shot, returned the gas can to the swing on the front porch, and went back behind the house to die.

She was hardcore.

When there's nothing left to burn, you set yourself on fire.

Gyrfalcon: If I was on fire, I'd probably shoot myself to stop the pain. However, if I had a gun and was bent on suicide, I doubt I'd set myself on fire first just for the lulz and then shoot myself after, you know?

I can imagine someone doing it, just a bit differently:

Spread gas, light fuse, shoot. The idea would be to ensure you didn't live on as a vegetable if the shot wasn't perfect.

I do think it's not likely, though. If you want a backup to ensure you die take a bottle of tylenol. It would be no good as a primary method but if you're already out of it from a gunshot you're not going to mind what the tylenol does to you.

The One True TheDavid: Seriously, what's so hard to believe about that? I'm not going to do it, the setting myself on fire part sounds painful, but all it takes is grim determination, a minute's preparation, and maybe a handful of Vicodin.

Actually, a handful of vicodin would probably do you in by itself but it's a nasty way to go.

American feminized justice, In cases like these the man is guilty until proven innocent. Justice on the rag.

People determined to commit suicide do use multiple simultaneous methods to ensure they are successful. While it does stretch the imagination a bit, it is up to the investigators and lawyers to see this is proved, "beyond a reasonable doubt."

I just hope whatever the truth is, they get it right in court. I say this for all trials.

Of course she shot herself. Being burned to death sucks a whole lot worse.

I recall seeing a video of a guy with AIDS protesting the lack of spending in finding a cure AIDS, actually do this on an overpass in CA. He set himself on fire inside his truck then escaped the truck, stripped the burning clothes off himself and then shot himself in the head with a shotgun. I think it happened in the late '80's.

Perhaps she poured the gas on herself, put the can back on the porch, then lit the gas and then shot herself.

You'd have to be "on a mission" to do that but it does sound possible. But I'm nowhere near woman enough to try it myself though.

Yes, one of the first live televised suicides on KTLA.

It was pretty horrible, both the shot and hearing the news cameraman yelling "Pull back pull back" trying to keep everyone from seeing a burning guy blow his brains out in CLOSEUP.

Here's a slightly higher-quality version. It clearly shows him blowing his brains out but it's not very clear nor very close. The fake things in movies are much more dramatic.

It looks like he finally found a method that works.

Sorry, I meant HERE (link) is a slightly higher-quality version.

So yes, it is clearly possible to set yourself on fire and then shoot yourself. The guy in this video wasn't very good at the fire part though.
