A Lebanese man died from severe burns Friday after setting himself on fire at his daughter’s school over a fee dispute with the management, state media said. George Zreik doused himself with petrol and set it ablaze Thursday at Our Lady of Kaftoun secondary school in the Koura district of north Lebanon, the doctor who treated him told AFP. The school withheld the document because Zreik had failed to pay fees he owed the management, the report said. The school said in a statement that it had granted Zreik’s two children free tuition since they enrolled in 2014. The school said it had sent four written notices since the start of the school year asking him to settle outstanding payments.
