Dayum, this is sad.

30-year-old Demonte Sherill is dead after he made a video begging for help in an apartment complex construction fire on Liberty Row Drive, in Charlotte, North Carolina, on May 18.

According to officials, a foam spraying machine caught fire, then spread throughout the construction site, trapping Sherill and another man who also died.
