Oh lordie, lordie, lordie, Chad Lever from Pennsylvania was trying to get his cat from under his bedridden mom’s bed by scaring him with a lighter but ended up igniting the bed and killing his mom instead! Chad, whose mom suffered from Lou Gehrig’s disease, often used his cigarette lighter to scare the cat from it’s hiding places. Unfortunately he must have got too close to something flammable because soon after leaving the room to resume hunting for the cat, he heard his mom’s screams.Sadly, Chad was unable to save her.
He pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter of his mother, Lisa House and was sentenced to probation.
Psst No word on where that friggin cat is hiding now!

No I did that once when we lived in Scotland. Old beds didn’t have that Satin finish it was like a coarse hessian and I was looking for our Christmas gifts which were usually hidden under mum’s bed. I had a candle so I crawled under with it and it went ‘woosh’. All the fuzzy bits just burnt off . My ,mum used to treach piano so when she had pupils over we all had to play in her room and this is what I got up to.
My bad ! Could have burnt the damn council house down. lol. I was always doing stuff like this. When my brother wouldn’t let me play with his soldiers I’d toss his lead ones in the fire and watch them burn the most glorious colours. I was such a precocious brat.

No doubt he meant well, I’m sure he was only trying to help. Did he chuck Mum’s body up onto the roof???

I used to have teenage stepsons like that. Never thought of setting fire to their beds. “Get up for school, your bed’s on fire!!!”
