The 51 year old man, identified by police as British citizen Gary McLaren, had serious facial injuries and was in critical condition. Despite the efforts of medical staff and emergency responders, Mr. McLaren was pronounced dead at the scene.

A large cylindrical firework was found on the ground nearby and taken as evidence.

A 24-year-old eyewitness told authorities that Mr. McLaren had unsuccessfully tried to light the large firework twice. It’s believed the firework was faulty and exploded on the ground during his third attempt.
