An Ohio man has died of his injuries from a blast after his improvised explosive devices went off in his garage.
The man, later identified as
Michael Hopkins, was making his own explosives with the intent to sell them. He planned to use the money pay off a lawn mower he’d recently purchased, a neighbor told Ashtabula County deputies.
Deputies and the Jefferson Fire Department were called to the Clay Street residence on Saturday (May 22). Hopkins, 55, was trapped inside the garage.
“When deputies arrived on scene, the detached garage located behind the residence was burned to the ground and debris was scattered into the neighbor’s yard,” an Ashtabula County Sheriff’s Office press release reads.
