A MAN who set himself on fire outside the Brisbane Supreme and District Court complex has died.

The 39-year-old man suffered burns to 90 per cent of his body after setting himself on fire yesterday.



Paramedics stabilised him before taking him to the Royal Brisbane Hospital but he died just after midnight, a police spokeswoman said today.



She said his next of kin had been notified.



The Courier Mail newspaper reported sources close to the investigation as saying the man had earlier been at the Federal Courts for a family matter.
