MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A woman died of burns Tuesday after trying to light her boyfriend on fire, police said.
Police and fire officials found the 31-year-old woman standing in front of her apartment building early Tuesday with second- and third-degree burns over 90 percent of her body, Sgt. Kenneth Harris said.
``She got into an argument with her boyfriend and she attempted to douse him with lighter fluid and in dousing him, she doused herself,'' Harris said. The woman used a cigarette lighter to ignite the fire, he said.
The woman died at a hospital several hours later. Harris said her 57-year-old boyfriend, who lived at the apartment, was treated and released with minor injuries, but was arrested on a drug-related charge.
Their names were not released.
