Queens-based Guyanese man sets himself on fire
Queens (New York Daily News) – A Queens, New York, man died after setting himself on fire in front of his apartment house Friday night, authorities said.
Sunildatt Seudatt’s body outside his apartment.
Firefighters found the victim, identified by family as Sunildatt Seudatt, already dead on the concrete yard outside 172-41 90th Ave. in Jamaica around 9 p.m.
Neighbours told family members that they tried pouring water on Seudatt, but it was too late.
Relatives were at a loss why Seudatt, described as part of a large family of Guyanese immigrants, would kill himself so violently.
One relative, who declined to give his name, said Seudatt had been depressed. He said that a daughter of Seudatt and two young grandchildren also lived in the three-storey building.
“I saw the fire trucks earlier. You would never think that this would be why,” said Rebekah Singh, 40, Seudatt’s niece.
