Man Kills Himself on Airplane

Florida man hanged himself in mid-flight aboard a United Airlines plane after being accused of arson at a Miami car dealership.

Flight 209 from Washington to Los Angeles was diverted to Denver on Wednesday after the body of Gerald Georgettis was discovered hanging in the jet's lavatory.

Georgettis drove through a car showroom in Miami last Saturday in a new Ford Escape he had recently bought there. He then poured gasoline on the vehicle and set it and several other vehicles ablaze. He was apparently upset at the financing deal he had got. No one was hurt, but he was charged with arson and criminal mischief.
