Going Down... in Flames?

Headline: Woman sets herself on fire in Seattle hotel elevator

The woman, who hasn't been identified, suffered burns to 60 percent of her body and was taken to Harborview Medical Center. The woman had been a guest at the Marriott-Waterfront.

Since my curiosity has reached a whole new level, without ever having to press a button, allow me to raise this question.Was it an attempt of suicide or an accident?

Usually a suicide attempt is a cry for help. However, I would imagine her cries for help began shortly after the heat intensity in that elevator matched that of an over-cooked hot pocket in Satan's breakroom.

If she was trying to make a statement, I suppose a moving platform was just as good as any. Yes, muzak can be quite disturbing, but is it worth taking your own life? It would've been easier to have taken the stairs instead. Which led me to believe this was purely accidental.

Let's assume it was a flatulant moment gone wrong - very wrong. There she was standing in there all alone and figured nobody would know. But then the panic set in and she resorted to the classic removal of scents plan - aka: CRiSP.

We all know the trick is to strike a match to get rid of any unwanted scents. However, regardless of how bad it may be, you're not supposed to use a wind-resistant turbo lighter to get that job done - yowza! Unfortunately, she had to learn this the hard way.

There were no official comments made by hotel representatives, however, there are unconfirmed reports that say the hotel chain is currently considering changing their name to Marriot-Fireside.
