"Kivlenieks, 24, died from a fireworks mortar blast and chest trauma, according to Inspector Mitch Brown of the Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office.

The death was ruled accidental after a full autopsy was conducted by the Oakland County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Ljubisa Dragovic, Brown said."

Yes, he slipped and fell -- according to witnesses who themselves were in the vicinity of the blast. But the fall isn't what killed him.
