A central New Jersey man who was severely burned when he accidentally ignited vodka he had spilled on himself has died from his injuries.
Toms River police had to force their way in to Paul MacClymont’s home early Friday after he called 911 to report his injuries. He told officers he had burned himself the night before when he dropped a lit cigarette in his lap, igniting some vodka that had spilled on his legs.
After briefly rolling around on the floor, MacClymont said he passed out before waking up six hours later and calling police.
The 40-year-old man, who sustained third-degree burns over his entire body, was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, where he died later Friday.
