A man who set himself on fire outside a Manhattan courthouse during former President Donald Trump’s so-called hush money trial has died from his injuries, police said.

Max Azzarello, a 37-year-old resident of St. Augustine, Florida, carried out the act of self-immolation on the afternoon of April 19 in Collect Pond Park, located across the street from the courthouse that has been a gathering point for demonstrators and media outlets covering jury selection for the trial.
