William Brown died after his left internal carotid artery was severed due to trauma from the exploding vape pen he just bought from
Smoke & Vape DZ in Keller, a town just north of Fort Worth, his
distraught grandmother told WFAA.
“He popped it and it exploded, and that’s when it shot across his mouth,” Alice Brown told the station.
Brown claimed the device’s battery malfunctioned, melting bits of plastic from her car to the vape pen — which launched the charred debris
into her grandson’s face and neck, leaving her car soaked in blood.
Brown died at John Peter Smith Hospital two days later, she said.
“When they X-rayed him, they found the stem, the metal embedded to where the blood flows up to the brain,” Brown continued. “I miss him
already, and knowing he won’t open that door and come through it ever
again is the hardest part.”Funeral services for Brown, a licensed
electrician, are scheduled for later this week, his grandmother said.
Brown, who wasn’t a regular smoker, purchased the device on Jan. 27 while on the way to the bank, the grandmother told the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram. He suffered from asthma and was told that a specialized
vape pen might help improve his breathing, she told the newspaper.
After the blast, William Brown managed to crawl out of the car and toward the trunk, where he collapsed on the pavement. A nearby witness
called an ambulance, she said, and a medical examiner later ruled that
his cause of death was penetrating trauma from an exploding vaporizer
pen, making him at least the second person in the United States to be
killed by an exploding e-cigarette, according to the newspaper.Brown, a
high school graduate who loved fixing up his Mazda RX8, was preparing to
celebrate his birthday in just two weeks, his grandmother said.
“It just hurts so bad,” she told the Star-Telegram. “Now he’ll never see that birthday. It’s a waste of the thing he could have
accomplished.”
She continued: “It just all seems so unreal. He was running around doing his thing at 24 and now he’s gone.”u2022eney7485yyWEEEEDD
