A pensioner has died after deliberately setting himself on fire inside a dental surgery.

The 66-year-old doused himself in lighter fuel and set himself ablaze in the reception area of the Little London Dental Care surgery in Chichester, West Sussex.

Anthony Chase was sprayed with fire extinguisher foam following the incident on Monday afternoon and when paramedics arrived he was still conscious and able to walk and talk.

But he died two days later at Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead. 

Police said they were not treating the death as suspicious and that the matter had been left with the coroner.
