A man tragically lost his life during a Fourth of July party after placing a lit firework on his head. The incident took place in Summerville, South California, when 41-year-old Allen Ray McGrew, while wearing a stars and stripes Uncle Sam outfit, decided to hold a lit firework over his top hat. What started as a showboating act turned into a devastating accident.

Allen’s wife, Paige McGrew, recounted the heart-wrenching events. She initially thought that Allen was simply goofing around before placing the firework on the ground. However, to her horror, she soon realized that he had already lit it. Despite her and others’ attempts to warn him, it was too late, and the firework exploded.

Allen collapsed instantly, suffering from severe head injuries, which proved fatal. The Dorchester County Sheriff’s department arrived at the scene in Cottonwood Drive but pronounced him dead shortly after.
