After four days of intensive care, Father Javier Sanchez suffered 52% burns in the freak crash over Easter weekend and lost his battle for life. In a candle-lighting service in a Spanish convent, the priest, 60, was engulfed in flames. An ember bowl surrounded by candles caught fire and lit fires that ignited his robes. According to reports, the 60-year-old died a hero as he stood between the burning bowl and nuns to shield them. Since paraffin was used on the ember bowl to help it burn, an investigation is underway.
