is obviously the Sheriff, because when someone is burned to death in their home in Sallislaw, it's not like aliens abducted him, set him on fire, then dropped him back into his house. It's more likely that he just caught fire all of a sudden!
it's unclear from the article where the Sheriff attended post-grad
SALLISAW, Okla. (CBS Houston/AP) — Sequoyah County authorities say a man who died in a fire at his home may have spontaneously combusted.
Danny Vanzandt, 66, died in the blaze on Monday.
Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart says several neighbors entered the home when they saw smoke and assumed trash had caught fire. Then they realized a person was burning.
Lockhart said the remains were in the kitchen and there was no other damage in the home. The sheriff says there was no apparent source of the fire.
“This is a case that I’ve never seen before,” Lockhart told KFSM-TV.
Authorities say the man had a history of heavy drinking and smoking.
No cause of the fire has been determined and Lockhart says spontaneous combustion has not been ruled out.
“I think there’s only about 200 cases worldwide, and I’m not saying this happened. I’m just saying that we haven’t ruled it out,” Lockhart told KFSM.
The body was sent to the state Medical Examiner’s Office in Tulsa for an autopsy.
You'd just have to know the area. Sequoyah county is a place where they could find a body that'd been shot, stabbed, throat cut, wrapped in chain, and dumped in the lake and the sheriff would say its the worst case of suicide he'd ever seen.
Plus it's about 90% meth heads so I'm guessing the crispy critter was no serious loss for humanity.
One time I went on a hanging where the guys hands were bound behind him and he was dangling from a tree by a big ass chain around his neck. Local PDs response: suicide.
That run sparked a reoccurring joke among the crew, too. The guys wife was hot a hel, I mean a 10. One of the degenerates I work with says, as we're confirming death on the monitor, "Think its too soon?"
