An Indian teenager died on Monday while preparing his entry forย “India’s Got Talent.”
Mohammed Jalaluddin, 19, was performingย a fire stunt while his friends recorded him on their phones so that he could send it to the show’s producers.
But something went wrong and Jalaluddin sustained third degree burns across 60 percent of his body after he was unable to remove a t-shirt he had soaked in kerosene and set on fire, per the Times of India.ย
Indian authorities say that Jalaluddin first held kerosene in his mouth and used it to breathe fire, then went up a nearby hill to attempt the t-shirt stunt.
