Father Dies After Placing Lit Firework On His Head

During Fourth Of July Celebration

Allen McGrew's wife has since opened up about the Fourth of July party and what led to her husband placing a lit firework on his head.

A tragic incident occurred during a Fourth of July celebration when a man died after placing a lit firework on his head.

On Thursday, July 4th, the Dorchester County Sheriff's department responded to a distressing call at a home on Cottonwood Drive in Summerville, South Carolina.

The call was about 41-year-old Allen Ray McGrew, who had put a lit firework on his head, which then exploded.

"Do not ignite fireworks on head, in hand, or up ass. This can cause serious injury or even death."
