Overview
- Reports say the man forced his way into the Ciudad de la Justicia before going outside and setting himself on fire, and he later died at Hospital Reina Sofía from burn injuries.
- A security guard watching cameras is reported to have detected the intrusion and alerted Policía Nacional and Policía Local before the self-immolation.
- Local police, Bomberos de Córdoba and 061 emergency medical teams rushed to the scene, extinguished the flames and transported the man to hospital.
- Authorities have confirmed the death but have not released the victim’s identity or a motive, and the forced-entry detail remains reported rather than officially verified.
- The incident is likely to trigger reviews of courthouse access and security procedures and will draw judicial and police follow-up into the circumstances and possible mental-health factors.
