A Florida woman who suffered burns on 80 percent of her body after her husband allegedly set her on fire in August died from an infection on Saturday, November 10, 2012. Megan Kimbrough (pictured), 26, was allegedly burned by Joshua Kimbrough, who faces numerous charges including attempted first-degree murder. Detectives say Kimbrough set his wife on fire in their Lakeland home with flammable liquids and then stopped her as she tried to run out of the house to extinguish herself. The Lakeland Police Department says Kimbrough then went on a crime spree that included a carjacking at a convenience store and a home burglary.

Joshua Kimbrough, the man accused of setting his wife on fire back in August has now been charged with premeditated attempted first-degree murder.
