Police are investigating the death of a man they found engulfed in flames Sunday morning at the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course.
Employees in the golf course’s restaurant and pro shop saw the man in flames running in the area of the stone restroom near Crespi Pond and the tees of the 17th hole on Ocean View Boulevard about 7:20 a.m.
Numerous calls to Pacific Grove police and the Monterey Fire Department reported a man and building on fire. Police arrived first and found the man and a fence outside the bathroom on fire. An officer immediately extinguished the flames but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
