This is HORRIBLE and very preventable.
I spent 10 years in the home medical supply/care business. We commonly had a few patients each year that set them selves on fire from smoking, cooking with gas, space heaters, fire places, etc. Men with heavy beards that smoked were the most likely to catch themselves on fire. The O2 is denser than the room air and it saturates the clothing and area around the patient. Oxygen is an accelerator; it is NOT combustible by itself. Any petroleum product is a no-no around O2; even Vasoline. There had to be a source of ignition.
Very sad.
