Read it again, wasn't him...
Take a look at the pics again. It wasn't him but the guy in the van next to him. He did the tailgate thing with a weber grill and charcoal then threw out the hot brickettes into a pile of leaves in front of the cars. Flames traveled 14 feet across three cars. The police showed up, saw the grill in the back of the van. Worked with stadium security to identify the guys seats in the stadium. When they approached him he was like...Yea, I tailgated then threw my ashes in the leaves, so what? Hope he has good insurance. He's going to need every drop of it to cover the SL55 itself!
