Lava Lamp Left on Stove Explodes, Kills Man
Source: Reuters, Wed 01 December 2004

SEATTLE (Reuters) - A Washington state man who placed a lava
lamp on a hot stove died when the lamp exploded and a glass
shard pierced his heart, police said on Tuesday.

Phillip Quinn, 24, was found dead in his trailer home on
Sunday night in Kent, about 15 miles south of Seattle.

"There appeared to have been an explosion that was centered
on the stove top. There were glass fragments all over,
embedded in the walls," said Paul Petersen, a Kent police
spokesman.

A lava lamp features blobs of wax in liquid that rise and
fall in a container when heated by a bulb at the base of the
lamp.

Quinn was probably standing in front of the lamp when it
exploded, then stumbled into his bedroom and died, Petersen
said, citing a medical examiner's report.
