“#26-Year-Old Man Killed By Exploding Cannon While Celebrating Family Baby Shower
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nTragedy struck this weekend when a 26-year-old Michigan man was unexpectedly killed after a small cannon exploded during the festivities at a local family baby shower.<\/p>\n

According to a news<\/a> release from the Michigan State Police first obtained by\u00a0People<\/em>,\u00a0Evan Thomas Silva<\/strong> of Hartland, Michigan was standing app<\/a>roximately 10-15 feet away from the cannon when it exploded and struck him with metal shrapnel at around 7:30 p.m. on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

While there were others in the group at the party who had been in the vicinity of the cannon at the time of its explosion, authorities say Silva was the only one who was hit by the shrapnel. He was taken to\u00a0Hurley Medical Center<\/strong> in Flint, Michigan, where he was pronounced dead due to his injuries. Just awful\u2026<\/p>\n

According to police, the cannon had reportedly been \u201cdesigned to create a big flash, a loud noise, and create smoke,\u201d but authorities believe it actually fractured and mis-fired because it was mistakenly loaded with gun powder.<\/p>\n

The owner of the cannon, cops say, bought it from an auction and had fired it \u201cseveral times\u201d before the baby shower to ensure it worked. Obviously, something went terribly, terribly wrong.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>, Genesee County Sheriff\u2019s Lieutenant\u00a0Liz Rich<\/strong> said (below):<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem with things like this is when you use gunpowder and you\u2019re using some sort of device without regular inspections on them, you may not see a hairline fracture in that device. There may have been too much gunpowder in there \u2014 that\u2019s what our bomb squad suspects, that that\u2019s the reason the entire thing exploded.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wow. Just terrible.<\/p>\n

Rich also noted that no charges have yet been filed, although the incident remains under investigation. Soon, according to local authorities, police will be sending their investigation to the Genesee County Prosecutor to determine if it should be reviewed further and prosecuted.<\/p>\n

As for Silva, a\u00a0GoFundMe\u00a0<\/strong>page organized to help his family with funeral arrangements had raised nearly $10,000 as of Monday morning. The site notes Silva was lost in \u201ca sudden fatal accident,\u201d and grieves in how he \u201cleft behind many family members and friends who greatly miss him.\u201d You can visit that page HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts are with Silva and those grieving his loss during this unimaginably difficult time. Sending so much love and support to his family, friends, and loved ones suffering through his unexpected death.<\/p>\n
