An 87-year-old man who was bicycling in Bethpage, Long Island died after his clothes apparently caught fire. Newsday reports that a FedEx driver saw Joseph Rusin "in flames and rolling on the ground on the front lawn of a home." The driver took "a fire extinguisher from his truck to put out the flames," while another witness called 911. Rusin was pronounced dead at Nassau County Medical Center. The fire is not considered suspicious; Nassau County fire officials believe Rusin, who was riding home from a supermarket with groceries, was smoking a cigarette, which ignited his nylon jacket.
