Man Once Freed from N. Korean Jail Thanks to Former President, Found in Fiery Death

Gomes embraces former president Jimmy Carter, who negotiated his release from a N. Korean prison after serving a few months of an eight year sentence in 2010.

*Only recently hadĀ Aijalon Gomes left Boston to live in San Diego. Sounds like a man looking for a change, not like one who would travel so far…to commit suicide.

But an off-duty California Highway Patrol officer that was driving west on Pacific Highway near Sea World Drive about 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday saw a man, later identified as Gomes, burning…alive. According toĀ Lt. Todd Griffin, the officer did stop to help, but Gomes died from his injuries before he could reach the hospital.

Now back to the suicide part. This isn’t a fact by any means, its just a potential part of the mysterious equation. The other part being examined is that the fire was an accident.

But the reason suicide even comes into the picture is this. According toĀ Jacqueline McCarthy, Gomesā€™ mother, her son,Ā Aijalon, is the same man who was traumatized by being incarcerated in a North Korean jail after he illegally walked acrossĀ a frozen stretch of the Tumen River in January 2010.

He was apprehended by border guards, jailed and sentenced to eight years of hard labor. He was also fined $700,000.

McCarthy says her son was so messed up by the experience that he attempted suicide…several times.
