Sudden death: Mr Estrada's sudden death has left his family at a loss for words 


Investigators have confirmed that a man who burned to death at a Los Angeles Halloween party accidentally set himself on fire while light a cigarette.
Video of the tragic event shows Gilbert Estrada engulfed in flames and flailing around helplessly as other party-goers continue to dance around him.
Estrada had gone to the West Hollywood Carnaval dressed as a sniper in camouflage. According to the Los Angeles Times, the costume was made from burlap sacks and straw. 

'It's really thin and flammable,' Los Angeles County Sheriff's Detective Richard Biddle told the Los Angeles Times. 'That stuff could ignite pretty fast.'
Biddle told the Times that an bystander told investigators he saw Estrada accidentally ignite the hood of his Halloween costume while he was trying to light a cigarette. When he pulled the hood off his head, the flames spread to his back, eventually engulfing his whole body.
Derek Easley was at the festival and saw the event.
'So many people were drunk and partying,' he told the Los Angeles Times.
'People were chanting, clapping, filming and taking pictures like it was some kind of cool, funny thing and not realizing it was a guy who was suffering in a really bad condition.' 


 
Writhing in agony: Mr Estrada flails violently around in front of the crowd in a shocking video of the accident 



Estrada, 51, was pronounced dead Friday 1 November after catching fire the night before during a dance music performance at the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival.
In the horrific moment caught on video, Mr Estrada can be seen flailing around completely engulfed in flames.
Some people began cheering and even heckled as the flames engulfed Estrada before other party-goers rushed to help him.
Witnesses told investigators that He was attending the event with his girlfriend, brother Pablo Estrada told KCAL. 

Party on: An onlooker throws her hands in the air and cheers before realising that Mr Estrada is not performing a stunt 



‘He’s on fire!’ a person screams.
The video quickly pans to the left to show flames shooting about 10 feet into the air.
Mr Estrada, who is shirtless by the end of the video, is rolling and violently flailing around Santa Monica Boulevard as the flames scorch his skin.
Partygoers don’t initially appear to be concerned, perhaps believing it to be part of the spectacle, and continue dancing.
One person throws his arms in the air and cheers.
But towards the end of the one minute 41 second-long video, several people are seen barreling through the crowd to help Mr Estrada.
After the fire is mostly stomped out, the badly ailing man attempts to crawl forward, but collapses as many of the 500,000 attendees mock him. 



 
Finally put out: A plume of smoke rises after the flames were finally put out 




‘What the f**k are you doing?’ one person shouts.
Wearing no shirt, his jeans are covered in embers, Mr Estrada is in very obvious pain, but the mocking continues. People cheer after the video taker's friends ask if he got it on camera.
‘Yeah I got that s**t on camera!’
Mr Estrada’s devastated family has set up a page for people to donate for a funeral after his sudden death.
‘On October 31st, my brother Gilbert Estrada passed away from a tragic accident he sustained while celebrating halloween at West Hollywood's Halloween Carnaval,’ the page says.
‘His costume went up in flames for reasons unknown and he suffered severe burns to his upper torso including his face.’

I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

Proverbs 1:

22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make
known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
