A Michigan man died when a firework he was holding to his head exploded, police said.
The blast of the mortar shell happened Sunday night in front of the family of the 47-year-old man, who was not identified.
Walled Lake Police Chief Paul Shakinas told the Free Press that alcohol was a factor in the death.
WXYZ in Detroit said the man may not have realized the firework was lit when he put it up to his head.

Alcohol and fireworks, cleaning out the shallow end of the gene pool since quite a while ago.

He thought he was drinking the firework while holding a beer to his head.

Dang, drinking alcohol leads to stupid and sometimes deadly behavior?
Why is it legal?

said the man may not have realized the firework was lit when he put it up to his head. Likely the lit explosive did not go off after being lit. Do not walk over and pick it up to examine why. Most kids know this by the time they're 10.
