An expecting father's life was tragically cut short this past weekend after a freak accident happened while he was preparing for a gender-reveal party for him and his girlfriend to announce the coming of their son.
28-year-old Liberty, New York resident Christopher Pekny was killed after an accidental explosion occurred in a garage where he and his brother, Michael Pekny, were setting up a device that was originally supposed to reveal to family and friends the gender of his soon-to-be-born son.
The accident, which was described by Christopher's oldest brother Peter Pekny Jr. as "the freakiest of freak accidents that I could ever imagine," seriously injured Michael and fatally wounded Christopher.
