JONKOPING, Sweden, May 28 Police and school officials in Jonkoping, Sweden, are warning local students not to emulate a boy who lit himself on fire and jumped in a lake.

A video posted on the Internet depicts the boy covering himself in gasoline, setting himself ablaze and jumping into a swimming area at Tahesjon lake, The Local reported Monday.

The police said the boy could have gone into shock. They are planning a series of lectures at the teen's school explaining the dangers of making videos of dangerous stunts.

School officials in the town, meanwhile, are meeting with the parents of about 20 students who were present at the taping and cheered the fire-clad boy on.
