[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A man died after firing a toy gun at his own private area while intoxicated.


Recently, the Derby Telegraph in the UK reported that a 53-year-old man, Mr. A, living in Staffordshire, England, died after being hit by a toy BB gun.


According to the report, on April 6, Mr. A accidentally fired a BB gun at his private area while drinking alcohol.


The BB gun fired by the man was said to be a relatively powerful model.


The next day, Mr. A woke up with severe pain and swelling in his private area and visited a hospital.


Feeling embarrassed about his mistake, Mr. A did not explain the specific situation and, three days later, a blood test confirmed a urinary tract infection, for which he was prescribed antibiotics.


However, not taking it seriously, Mr. A did not take the prescribed medication.


Six days later, he returned to the hospital due to increased pain and swelling, but the wound had worsened to an untreatable state.


About 10 days after the accident, Mr. A ultimately died from "multiple organ failure due to sepsis."



The hospital doctor who treated Mr. A stated, "The cause of this accident was that he only started taking the antibiotics three days after they were prescribed," adding, "This problem, which could have been resolved with antibiotic treatment, was neglected and unfortunately led to death."
