Two people are dead after a man set fire to his partner and then became engulfed as well at their home in southwest Detroit on Thursday night.

Police are calling the incident a domestic dispute, saying one man was upset with his partner. It’s unclear what issue was at the heart of their dispute. One man has been identified as Edward Pickle, Jr., 22, according to Wayne County Medical Examiner’s Office spokeswoman Mary Mazur. He was identified by his father. The other man has not been identified yet.

Pickle suffered burns to 98 percent of his body, Mazur said. The other man had burns over 75 percent of his body. Both died after being transported to Detroit Receiving Hospital. Autopsy results are pending, Mazur said.

The men lived in the 4700 block of Springwells.

Detroit Police Assistant Chief Steve Dolunt said he does not believe the man who doused his partner with an unknown accelerant and threw a match at him intended to kill himself, describing the man’s actions as accidental.

“You’ve seen this in movies where when you light an accelerant it causes a trail. Well, the trail came back to him, and he was fatally injured as well,” Dolunt said. “I think he was trying to do great bodily harm to the individual because apparently they are partners and they care about each other and, unfortunately, it killed him as well.”

"The Long Hot 'Gay' Summer Continues"

Although it's been a cool and mild summer here in Detroit, tempers have flared out of control between same-sex couples here and made news headlines all summer.  

I guess it's just a sign of things to come... Now that we're allowed to live openly as couples, we do the same thing other couples do.  

This sad and tragic story is just further proof that 'love' is the most powerful force there is... "it'll make you do right and it'll make you do wrong."
