一名79岁的新西兰男子于2024年2月1日死亡,当时他试图引爆他在农场储存多年的老式、不断恶化的炸药。 A 79-year-old New Zealand man died on February 1, 2024, while attempting to detonate old, deteriorating explosives he had stored for years on his farm. Alexandra Cunninghame验尸官确定死亡是可以预防的,因为此人曾向警察和制造商征求过意见,但没有向新西兰国防军的爆炸物处理单位求助。 Coroner Alexandra Cunninghame determined the death was preventable, as the man had sought advice from police and a manufacturer but was not directed to the New Zealand Defence Force’s explosive ordnance disposal unit. 炸药是一种高强度乳胶型炸药,随着时间推移,已经变得不稳定。 The explosives, a high-strength emulsion type, had become unstable over time. 当局后来安全地引爆了剩余的材料。 Authorities later safely detonated the remaining material. 验尸官敦促警察确保所有警察知道在此类案件中与国防军的炸弹小组联系,警察证实他们正在更新协议,并制作数字指南,以改进反应。 The coroner urged police to ensure all officers know to contact the Defence Force’s bomb squad in such cases, and police confirmed they are updating protocols and creating a digital guide to improve responses.
