DIAMOND, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say a man has died after
being burned by a space heater while painting a bathroom at a northeast
Ohio park.
The Summit County medical examiner’s office said
49-year-old Jon Blystone of Youngstown was painting a bathroom Wednesday
at Green Acres Lake Park in Diamond, between Akron and Youngstown.
He
was using a space heater to keep warm, and was seen emerging from the
bathroom "engulfed in flames," according to the medical examiner.
He was taken to an Akron hospital where he died early Thursday.
