<div dir="ltr">There is an AP wire story regarding this. It occurred in Calais, Maine. The victim was Devon Staples, age 22. The fellow's brother, Cody, is quoted as saying, "There was no rushing him to the hospital, There was no Devon left when I got there." It was a reloadable mortar tube. He ignited the firework and was killed instantly. Mechanism of death not noted in the article.<div>Steve Rees </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 11:41 AM, Riter, Andrew via Stagecraft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" target="_blank">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
