The rest of the story?

[Duer 157099]

I just read this article (full story at link, below) and am perplexed about what may have happened. Is the suggestion that this woman set the fire herself? Or that somebody was hanging around and ended up doing it to her?



*******************************

In the hours before the fire, Shears had made at least four emergency calls to Santa Rosa police, reporting a variety of issues including hearing people in her Sebastopol Road apartment.

Officers responded each time, and at about 1 a.m. Shears was taken to Sutter Medical Center in Santa Rosa but she subsequently left and went home.

At 4:07 a.m., a report of a fire alarm sounding at the Village Square complex just east of South Wright Road brought firefighters to her apartment.

She was found at her front door, badly burned.

Firefighters had found a gallon container for gasoline in her bedroom, where the fire had started.

1. This may have been a case of a medical facility being

unable to forcibly commit someone because it wasn't apparent that she was an immediate hazard to herself or others.
