Man Burns Himself To Death In Parking Lot
 

CONCORD
School treasurer dies in apparent suicide

A Walnut Creek high school official died Thursday after burning himself in an apparent suicide in the parking lot of a Concord apartment complex Wednesday night.

Concord police say Eugene "Gene" Faust doused himself with gasoline and set himself and his car ablaze at the Valley Crest Condominiums about 8:20 p.m. Bystanders extinguished the flames, and Faust was flown to Doctors Medical Center San Pablo.

He was removed from life support about 1 p.m. Thursday.

Faust, 61, was the treasurer at Northgate High School and a familiar and well-liked figure on the campus. He sold tickets for athletic events, actively supported the teams and often chaperoned school dances.

He'd had a successful corporate career before retiring and devoting his energies to working with the school.

According to a Concord police spokesman, Faust had been served with divorce papers Wednesday.
