    Another one out of the gene pool

    Man dies after placing lit firework on his head during Fourth of July party

    DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – A South Carolina man was killed after trying to “show off” with fireworks at a Fourth of July party Thursday night.

    When deputies with the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office arrived at a neighborhood block party in Summerville at 10:23 p.m., they found a man lying in the roadway suffering from major head injuries.

    Witnesses told deputies the injuries were from a fireworks accident.

    The coroner later said the victim, 41-year-old Allen Ray McGrew, had ignited a large firework device and set it on his head. The device exploded, causing “massive head injuries.”

    McGrew was pronounced dead at the scene.
    It was claimed that the man's last words were: "hold my beer bubba and watch this"

    His Darwin award will be made posthumously
