An elderly South African man has killed himself by putting a
firecracker in his mouth and lighting it, in a municipal court in
Pretoria on Monday morning.
News24 reports that the 76-year-old man had been summoned to attend a "protection order case" at the court on Monday morning, Senior Superintendent Isaac Mahamba said in a statement.
"At around 08:00, witnesses saw him standing in the passage and
taking out something that they thought was a cigarette. He put it in
his mouth and, when he lit it, it blew up in his face," Mahamba said.
He died on the scene. The court was closed for the day.
"It was later found that he had blown himself up with fireworks. No one else was injured."
