“The HVAC worker was found by first responders, lying dead at the scene from the head injuries that abruptly ended the party.”
“The local coroner’s office reported that McGrew was killed instantly by massive head trauma caused by the exploding device. In an interview with the Post and Courier, his wife mentioned she had been in the midst of telling him to stop playing with the firework when it suddenly erupted, causing him to collapse.”
“He was holding this firework over his top hat,” she told the outlet, as footage of the incident continues to circulate online.
“I thought he was just showboating before he set it on the ground. I didn’t realize he had already lit it.”
“On Saturday, she mentioned how her husband, during his favorite holiday, had previously told the Post and Courier, ‘He was a patriot.'”
“He was proud of his son,” she continued, “and he was excited to welcome a new daughter-in-law. He was truly living his best life last night.”
