Police in Kyoto said Tuesday they are investigating the death of a man whose charred corpse was found Monday in a park.
According to police, at around 4:25 a.m. on Monday, a man taking a stroll through Arashiyama Higashi Park in Nishikyo Ward found the grisly remains and called 110, Sankei Shimbun reported.
Police said the body is assumed to be an adult male. A lighter along with a plastic bottle and two cans containing kerosene were found near the corpse. Police believe the man may have committed suicide by setting himself on fire.
A bag was near the remains but there was nothing inside that might help identify the man.

It's sad that he died alone and in such a painful way. I hope his spirit is at peace now.
