Vancouver Man Set on Fire While Sleeping Outside

A 26 year-old Vancouver man was set on fire while sleeping on a couch that he found outside in the Downtown Eastside Area.  He was out drinking Saturday night and fell asleep on the couch before waking up to see his body lit on fire.  The man was taken to a hospital and treated for minor burns.

Witnesses say three men were responsible for spraying fluid on his body and torching him.  All three suspects were able to escape before the police arrived.
