The man who lit himself on fire outside of the Manhattan courthouse where Donald Trump’s trial was taking place died Friday night, a senior law enforcement official told CNN.
NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey B. Maddrey said earlier that the man walked into the center of Collect Pond Park, which is directly across from the courthouse.
He opened his backpack and took out pamphlets that he scattered in the park before setting himself on fire.
The man was taken to Cornell Burn Center earlier in critical condition.
Police had said they thought it was not likely that he would survive.
