一名打算在性别揭露派对上使用的装置爆炸后，一名28岁男子死亡, 根据纽约州警察.
警方在周日中午之前回应了爆炸的报告. Christopher Pekny, of Liberty, 纽约, was building the device that exploded. He was the father-to-be, 据警察.
Pekny’s 27-year-old brother, Michael Pekny, was injured and taken to a nearby hospital, state police said.
Police did not give further information on what kind of device it was, except that it was not intended to harm others.
本月初, a Michigan man died after a small cannon exploded at a baby shower, 警察说. While the cannon was not directly related to the baby’s gender, it was fired to “庆祝婴儿即将到来,” 密歇根州警察在一份声明中说.
This most recent death follows in the line of other gender reveals gone bad, 包含 一个 2020 wildfire in Southern California 和 a plane crash in Texas.
After last year’s wildfire, the blogger Jenna Karvunidis — who is largely credited for creating the gender reveal party — took to Facebook to condemn the over-the-top events.
“不再有这些愚蠢的聚会. 为了上帝的爱, 别再费劲了，告诉所有人您孩子的阴茎. No one cares but you,” 她写了.
