- description: US man has collapsed and died in front of a horrified courtroom after he had just been convicted of arson. Court officials said the judge and lawyers were discussing aggravating factors when Michael Marin's face suddenly turned red and he collapsed to the floor, CBS News reports. The 53-year-old from Arizona, who had just been found guilty of burning down his US$3.5 million mansion, had appeared shocked and closed his eyes as the verdict was read today. Video footage shows Marin appearing to put something in his mouth and wash it down with liquid in a plastic water bottle, leading some officials to question whether the former wall-street banker had committed suicide. Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is investigating the cause of Marin's death. A spokesman told KPHO-TV that nothing could be determined until they received a toxicology report in two weeks' time. Marin burned down his Phoenix mansion in July 2009 after it failed to sell at a charity auction. Witnesses saw Marin escaping the fire by climbing down a rope ladder while wearing scuba gear.
