Man dies trying to launch huge firework off his head in front of family


WALLED LAKE, MICHIGAN — A 47-year-old man died Sunday night after a large firework shell he was holding over his head exploded.

Police say alcohol was involved in the incident, which happened around 9 p.m. on the 1500 block of Quinif Drive.

The man was identified as Scott Jeffers. The Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy and ruled his death to be an accident.

"We received a call about a medical emergency involving fireworks," Walled Lake Police Chief Paul Shakinas told the Detroit News. "We found a resident in the backyard with severe trauma to the back of his head. We were not able to revive him."

According to police, the accident happened in front of Jeffers' family. Police say Jeffers took a large mortar-type firework and tried to shoot it off his head.

The force of such a firework goes in both directions. It shot through his skull. A witness tried to save him with CPR, but he died at the scene.

"Alcohol was a factor in what happened. We are urging everyone to use caution when using fireworks. Fireworks and alcohol do not mix."Shakinas said.

Just kidding. Wife told me about this and that is not the way I'd like to go.

God taking out the trash. I heard there was an NFL dude that held a firework and he got a severe burn and nerve damage. Gotta wonder who gave him the sparkler?????
We did have a lot of illegal fireworks in our neighborhood this year. Some were actually pretty cool. We got to watch the Sky Sox show from our deck so we did not have to go anywhere. Thanks for letting me ramble on. V

We are skewing nature by enacting rules and laws that keep the fatally stupid from succeeding in earning a Darwin award.

A few will succeed no matter what, way too many will be stopped.
