cedd Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Sadly now a fatality; A Paris theatre's technical director died of a heart attack overnight after a malfunctioning power tool set off an explosion at the theatre, investigators said Saturday.Marcus Toledano, 41, died in hospital, police said, adding that his heart had stopped when rescue workers arrived on the scene Friday evening. An initial investigation determined that a first blast, which occurred near the stage shortly after 6:00 pm, was caused when the disc of a circular power saw broke away and ignited fireworks stored nearby for use in a musical about the French Revolution. Toledano was among several people who rushed to the scene, and a second explosion ensued, causing a wall to collapse. Several others were injured, five seriously, police said FridayTaken from BT Yahoo News Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
