KENT, Wash. - A 24-year-old man who placed a lava lamp on a hot stovetop was killed when it exploded and sent a shard of glass into his heart, police said.

"Why on earth he was heating a lava lamp on the stove, we don't know," Kent Police spokesman Paul Petersen said Monday.

Phillip Quinn's parents found his body in his Kent trailer home at about 8 p.m. Sunday. They went to check on him after his girlfriend reported that she couldn't get in touch with him.

The King County Medical Examiner's office estimated the time of his death at 2 p.m. Sunday.

After the lamp exploded, Quinn apparently stumbled into his bedroom, where he died, Petersen said.

Police found no evidence of drug or alcohol use.

He didn't even try to call 911... Well, if you're frying a lava lamp you probably don't have all your faculties in order...

Poor guy...but that's a pretty dumb thing to do!

God people are so dumb.

I but he was either drunk or high,I mean sure enough he would
have had more sense not to do that with appliances!,Duh?!:p

("When lava lamps attack" tonight on FOX.)

That would be awful to get killed by a lava lamp! Why on earth did he have the damn thing on his stove!?!!!!?

shallow end of the gene pool apparently...

Heating a lava lamp on a stove is a really stupid thing to do. Why would anyone want to heat a lava lamp on a stove? That guy must have had a major screw loose. :rolleyes:
