It is a terrible thing. Homeless people are routinely victimized by sociopathic people who have no empathy or conscience. This man was noticed only because he still has living family that cares for him. That, and being set on fire. =(

a man who tried putting the fire out said John wasn't screaming..wasn't making any sounds...
the neighborhood took care of him. they gave him food, etc. there are a lot of candles and cards where he died.

It's possible that he was already dead. Likely, even, since he wasn't screaming. Perhaps the autopsy, if there is one, will show the actual cause of death.

this is true. the guy trying to help said he was moving around but maybe he had a heart attack or something?
