The flames burned her face, arms, legs and part of her body.

Transferred in a state of absolute emergency Monday to the Nantes hospital center, the man who set himself on fire in front of the courthouse in Quimper (Finistère) was "in a very worrying state" on Tuesday, according to the prosecutor of the Republic Carine Halley.

Its vital prognosis is engaged.

The man had presented himself Monday afternoon in front of the steps of the courthouse and voluntarily sprayed himself with gasoline before setting it on fire by throwing at his feet a smoke bomb previously unpinning.

“The gesture would have been motivated by his personal situation.

In the process of divorce, he also presents an old depressive state, with suicidal tendencies and seemed to want to end his medical follow-up, ”specifies the prosecutor.
