A 57-year-old man in the UK has passed away after he accidentally stabbed himself while trying to separate a pair of frozen burger patties.
According to GB News, 57-year-old Barry Griffiths died after sustaining a fatal wound to his stomach.
Detective Chief Inspector Jonathan Rees who led the investigation explained, “The bottom drawer of the freezer had been left open and pulled forward in a position to access food items.
“On the work surface in the kitchen adjacent to the fridge-freezer were two uncooked burgers, a knife and a tea towel.
“The wound to the abdomen would have been approximately the height of the work surface. My hypothesis at that stage was that Griffiths was attempting to separate frozen burgers using a knife.”
Griffiths, who lived alone, was said to be a man who led a “relatively private life with limited contact with others.”
