WHEN GUNS ARE OUTLAWED ONLY OUTLAWS WILL HAVE KEGS OF BEER
It’s true. Alcohol kills. But usually not like it’s an IED.
A Brazilian man died at his own birthday party last week after a beer keg exploded while he was trying to fix it. He died doing what he loved.
The tragedy occurred the evening of Sept. 17 after Gilson do Nascimento, 43, rented the booze barrel for his b’day bash in Campo Bom in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, Newsflash reported.
The good news is, he isn’t getting any older.
Unfortunately, the beer wouldn’t come out of the tap properly, so the locksmith-shop owner decided to try to repair it himself.
“There was a problem,” said Nascimento’s niece, who opted to remain anonymous and was at the soirée along with the man’s wife, sister and 15-year-old son.
She said “only foam” was coming out of the device. “My uncle called them [the rental company] and they gave him instructions on how to start fixing it until they arrived,” she added.
Tragedy struck, however, when the brew-dispensing device blew up, causing metal shards to hit Nascimento in the head.
