USA: 24-year-old man dies after exploding an electronic cigarette in his face

William Brown, 24, died in the city of Keller, Texas after an electronic cigarette exploded in his face as he tried it after buying it a few minutes ago in a shop.

According to information in the local Star Telegram newspaper, William Brown, 24, died on January 29, two days after the explosion of the device.

The Tarrant County Coroner's Office confirmed at autopsy that the cause of death was due to the shards of the device that were cutting off the left carotid artery and sinking it into the skull. These wounds were deadly.

"William was not a regular smoker, he had asthma and was told that there was some kind of device that could help relieve his symptoms," said his grandmother in a report. .

A similar incident also occurred in May in Florida. Tallmadge Elia, 38, died when her device exploded. Two fragments of this bullet were injured in the head and burned 80% of the body.

In the United States, there have already been hundreds of incidents related to the explosion of these gears over the past 10 years, making 38 seriously injured and one dead. This would be the second fatal case.
