Jared Faircloth, 16, died May 18, three days after being set on fire with a cigarette lighter.
Rapides Sheriff’s officials said gasoline was spilled on him and he was accidently set on fire by the 15-year-old who was taunting Faircloth by waving the lighter at his gasoline-doused clothing.
Faircloth suffered burns to more than 65% of his body, and was airlifted to Baton Rouge General Hospital’s Burn Unit, where he died.
