Devon Staples and his friends had been drinking and setting off fireworks Saturday night in the backyard of a friend's home in the small eastern Maine city of Calais, said Stephen McCausland, a spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety.
Staples, 22, of Calais, placed a fireworks mortar tube on his head and set it off, he said.
The firework exploded, killing Staples instantly, McCausland said.

Definite Darwin Award nominee.
Tragic but really how stupid can people be? This type of person is bound to kill or hurt themselves sooner or later from sheer idiocy or bad judgment. Even worse is they are a risk to others too.
PARTY ON DUDE...YEAH!!!!
Darwin understood this well.
Hold my beer - and watch this!
I thought things like this only happen in the south to rednecks?
That was mind blowing!
Butthole
Can't fix stupid
"In 2011, lawmakers voted to repeal a 1949 law banning fireworks, reasoning the industry would create jobs and generate additional revenue." Part of story
this is like Maryland and other states. We have no exploding fireworks yet but about ten years ground sparklers expanded greatly and there continue to be attempts by the industry to get more dangerous fireworks legalized.
Decades ago driving in Texas on the fourth the multiple radio reports of fingers blow off and other human parts damage was interesting to me. At the time only gold sparklers were legal in Maryland.
The other way Maryland is like other states is the increasing production of spirits by what seems to be everybody and the increasing acceptance and consumption of the same. None of this is smart.
What no clip? Million hits I bet
A Dummy.
I feel sorry for his family that this is his claim to fame.
I have a better idea. Allow citizens to take photos of cars displaying handicap stickers and their license plate that are parked in handicapped parking and email them to someone in enforcement. At $500 for a violation, this should provide local governments another source of revenue.
Lol. Your lost. Let me give you directions. Hit the back button. Start scrolling until you see the sign for the correct topic and take that exit.
Hey stupid, it's America. Not america. Also it would be " too stupid to research anything", not what you typed.
