According to police, this was the third attempt he had made to harm himself in such a way.
He had apparently set himself on fire and suffered burns 15 months ago, after complaining he could not pay back the debts from his failed business.

This guy is not very bright. Instead of setting himself on fire, why not set on fire a corrupt offcial or banker or maybe an elected official who is a crook. I cannot believe the cluelessness of most people. They have been programmed to kill themselves when they get screwed over.
Poor guy but most people out there would Target the bankers if they knew. I remember when some Greeks battered this Greek banker a few months ago. You finished yet EVILdick11
