From the New York Post: A physical therapist was burned alive inside a hyperbaric chamber at his Arizona practice when a flash fire ignited in the oxygen therapy machine Wednesday, turning it into a deathtrap.
Dr. Walter Foxcroft, 43, was found dead inside the chamber by firefighters who rushed to his office, Havasu Health and Hyperbarics, after receiving a report of a fire there around 11 p.m., the Lake Havasu City Fire Department said.
When the first responders arrived, smoke was already billowing through the building.
They scanned the building and came across the grisly scene in which the hyperbaric chamber was turned into a fiery coffin, with Foxcroft’s scorched body trapped inside, according to officials.
