Unconfirmed Darwin...Yuck!!!

(July 2002) This story was told at a symposium dinner, by two Austrian pathologists who work together in Germany. A deceased male was brought to them for a post mortem. He had suffered severe head trauma. According to police reports, the man wanted to see how a German World War II hand grenade was constructed. His curiosity led him to clamp the grenade in a vise, and cut a thin band around the center with a circular saw, so that he would be able to crack open the two halves. Unfortunately, the man cut a little too deep, and detonated the grenade. The pathologists stated that the man had very little brain material when he was brought to them; however, they were not sure if that was a result of the explosion!

Go read The Relic. They have a finely-detailed autopsy included in it after 2 boys were found dead in the subbasement of a natural history museum. Pretty grotesque.

Heheheh, then there was another almost-Darwin. In a trial a grenade was being used as evidence and being handed for the judge to see, after the judge had finished looking at it he kept it in his hand. Then, upon getting bored with what was going on, he absentmindedly pulled the pin. Amazingly enough he survived.
