A person burns himself to death in front of the New York State Courthouse in Manhattan this Friday. The event occurred while the selection of the twelve members of the jury that will be in charge of ruling on the innocence or guilt of the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, is taking place.
“I see a completely charred person,” a CNN journalist commented live while reporting on Trump’s trial. In a video uploaded to In a few seconds, but which seem eternal, several police officers and court personnel appear at the scene and offer to help the suicide.
According to the same media, the man received medical attention at the scene and was transferred to a hospital in the city. “The smell of smoke and burning human flesh lingers in the air,” CNN reporters added after the event. At the moment, local authorities have not reported the situation, according to Reuters.
These weeks, the New York City courthouse has reinforced security measures given Trump’s presence, but they have not prevented a person from entering the premises and burning himself like a fire.
The mogul is accused of 34 crimes related to the document falsification scheme he created to bribe porn actress Stormy Daniels in 2016.
