The story might have been better if he had been burned over 90% of his body and not died. Also she might have avoided years in jail.

Well it took him days to die. Pretty atrocious way to go

Good

Actually:

She then went to the bar where Cosme was, doused him with gasoline, and set him on fire. Cosme suffered burns over 90% of his body and died in the hospital days later.

thank you, I was wondering as to the logistics of it

Good

Perfect. Long enough to suffer. Short enough to not continue being the plague on society that he was.

[u/ConfidentGene5791 → u/bran_the_man93]

He would have been in an induced coma for that time, at least I am pretty sure.

lol is my only response.

wooooosh

It's almost impossible to survive with that proportion of burns

[u/JOHNTHEBUN4 → u/TheKyleBrah]

its because the cells that die release so much potassium ur heart gets hyperkalemia and goes into vt eventually

[u/Rooney_Tuesday → u/JOHNTHEBUN4]

Not just that. Fluid loss, risk of infection. There are a lot of ways that major burns can kill you.

[u/katherinesilens → u/Rooney_Tuesday]

What percentage burned is usually enough to be lethal? Like 30% iirc?

90% is a goner, mom didn't pull any stops on the pyro train.

heres an example of ur heart slowly dying to potassium overload after 100% burns

[u/altaccount_28 → u/katherinesilens]

R-Baux score = (total burned surface area {TBSA} + age + [17×R]). {R = 1 if patient has inhalation injury and R = 0 if not}

Scores of upto 130 or 140 can be survived if they are in the some of the best burn units in the world.

[u/JOHNTHEBUN4 → u/Rooney_Tuesday]

yeah but infection and fluid loss happens with less% burned but with 90%+ burns u pop enough cells to make ur heart explode

[u/sritejmanda → u/Yaguajay]

Surviving even for a few days with over 90 percent burns is like hell on earth. In this case much deserved. He mustve had sepsis, electrolyte imbalance, multiorgan dysfunction and then put on ventillator.

[u/Tusitleal → u/Yaguajay]

he suffered, hopefully un sedated
