But Kivlenieks’ cause of death, as listed on autopsy, is “fireworks mortar blast, chest trauma,” not a head injury as first suspected.

Unbelievably sad.... at that wedding I was at the fireworks fired directly at me into the group I was in (lucky I was quite far away and watching them light them - but others were just too close and no one announced them), I just side stepped the blast and pulled my child away, I thought nothing of it immediately after in the commotion and was a little miffed at the time that they didn’t anchor the base of the fireworks (not too mad, just surprised at their mistake or them simply not knowing how to set them up)… About 15 minutes later, I noticed a lady sitting with her leg up on her knee attending a small burn that she said wasn’t too bad (although I didn’t look closely – she seemed too nice to complain and wreck the wedding day).
Depending on the size of the firework and how far away he was (and the group) – these things can go terribly wrong quickly, and for a bystander to be injured and die – wow, whoever lite that firework must feel terrible. Fireworks can be fun…. I just think people need to know how to anchor the pack and spend more time setting them up, you can’t (or more like should not) just place them on the ground and light them off (and never light them while holding them in your hand).
