A 22-year-old man has died after launching a firework off the top of his head.
Devon Staples and his friends had been drinking Saturday night in the garden of a friend’s home in Calais, eastern Maine, US, when he lit the firework and died instantly said Stephen McCausland, a spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety.
He explained: ‘Apparently, he thought that was a great idea.
"His friends they thought dissuaded him from doing it, and the next thing they knew, he ignited the fireworks and he was killed instantly."
