TOMS RIVER, N.J. - A 40-year-old man told police he accidentally burned his hand while lighting a cigarette, then dropped the cigarette into his lap, where it ignited vodka that had spilled, authorities said.

When the man awoke hours later, he called police, who forced their way into his home Friday morning, said Chief Michael Mastronardy.


The victim is listed in critical condition at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, police said.

Around 4:30 a.m. Friday, the man called police and said he had burned himself some six hours earlier. He later told police he rolled on the floor for some time, and when he awoke hours later, dialed 911, the chief said.

When Officers Andrew Chencharik and Ryan Quinn found the victim, he had third-degree burns on much of his body, said Mastronardy.

Toms River Police EMS transported the man to the hospital.
