Opera performer in fire-breathing mishap leaves hospital
(MCT) — CHICAGO — Chicago actor Wesley Daniel was released Thursday from Loyola University Medical Center, where he was treated for second-degree burns after catching fire during a Lyric Opera dress rehearsal earlier in the week.
“He’s had a really good last 24 hours,” Clifton Daniel, the actor’s father, said at a news conference at the Maywood hospital. “I think he just wants to be home and take it easy.”
