**Authorities Identify Cause of Death for Man Found Burned on Stone Mountain: “He Just Wanted to Be a Human S’more”**
In a shocking turn of events, authorities have finally identified the cause of death for the man found charred on Stone Mountain last week. The victim, identified as local daredevil and amateur chef, Gary “Flame On” Johnson, was reportedly attempting to create the world’s first human s’more when things went tragically awry.
According to the official report, Johnson had gathered a group of friends for what he called “the ultimate camping experience.” Witnesses claim he was last seen wearing a marshmallow costume and holding a giant chocolate bar, shouting, “I’m about to take this to the next level!” before running toward the mountain with a lighter in one hand and a bag of graham crackers in the other.
“Honestly, we thought he was just joking,” said his friend, Bob “The Fire Extinguisher” Thompson. “But then he lit himself on fire, and we realized he was serious. We tried to put him out with a cooler full of soda, but he just kept yelling, ‘I’m melting! I’m melting!’ like he was auditioning for a role in a really bad Wizard of Oz remake.”
Authorities have ruled the death an accident, but not before interviewing several witnesses who claimed Johnson had been inspired by a viral TikTok video titled “How to Become a S’more in 10 Easy Steps.” “We just didn’t think he’d take it literally,” said local TikTok influencer, Sarah “S’more or Less” Jenkins. “I mean, who knew that ‘fire is your friend’ could be taken so far?”
In a bizarre twist, Johnson’s family has decided to honor his memory by launching a new line of gourmet s’mores, aptly named “Flame On S’mores.” “We want to keep his spirit alive, one toasted marshmallow at a time,” said his mother, who was last seen wearing a T-shirt that read, “My son went out in a blaze of glory, literally.”
As for the mountain, it remains a popular destination for thrill-seekers and aspiring chefs alike, though local authorities have issued a warning: “Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not attempt to become a human s’more. Stick to the traditional method—preferably with a campfire and not a lighter and a dream.”
