No, he was *injured* by his own stupidity. He was alert and talking to the
first people who arrived on-scene but died, fully conscious, when flames
eventually engulfed his aircraft. Fly-in volunteers had kept the flames back
until their portable extinquishers ran out. A faster response by trained,
equipped rescuers would have got him to the hospital alive. The legal question
was whether the fly-in or the city should have had a faster response available,
not who was at fault in the accident itself.
