Sorry, I was wrong about the date; it happened 1994. The kid's name was David Hahn and he lived near Detroit.

You would think he would have died from radioactive poisoning. Nope.

"Hahn died on September 27, 2016. He was 39 years old. Hahn died in his hometown of Shelby Charter Township, Michigan. His death was accidental and due to intoxication from the combined effects of alcohol, diphenhydramine, and fentanyl."

"David Charles Hahn, sometimes called the "Radioactive Boy Scout" or the "Nuclear Boy Scout", was an American man who built a homemade neutron source at the age of seventeen."
