* Perhaps the most famous was [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thích_Quảng_Đức Thích Quảng Đức]], a Buddhist priest who set himself on fire in protest of the South Vietnamese government's mistreatment of the majority [[UsefulNotes/{{Buddhism}} Buddhist]] population in June [[TheSixties 1963]]. Because he notified the press, photographers were on hand to capture on film Duc dousing himself with gasoline, lighting up, and then ''serenely sit there'' as [[DyingMomentOfAwesome he burned to death]]. His death prompted massive public protests that led to the coup that killed President Diem. Duc's heart remained intact, even after a second cremation to reduce the body to ashes for safe-keeping. The heart was kept and revered as a sacred relic.
