A 28-year-old young man, who was preparing a “gender reveal” party to reveal the sex of his unborn baby to his relatives, died Sunday, February 21 in New York in the explosion of a confetti cannon. He was just in the process of making the device, which was to be used to project blue or pink confetti, when it exploded in his hands. The brother of the future dad was injured.
According to a police source from NBC News, the confetti cannon that exploded was just a prototype and not the device that was to be used on the feast day.
“It wasn’t supposed to hurt anyone.
It was just a harmless prop for a gender reveal that has gone horribly wrong, “lamented the same source.
An investigation is underway to determine what may have caused the explosion. Materials that were used by the victim should be analyzed.
