Blowin' Smoke

Today's story is short and sweet, just like 74-year-old Charles Elliot's death. A resident of Springdale, Ohio, Charles was parked in front of the Gentry Center Thursday while he waited for his wife, who was inside shopping. He decided that since she might be a while, he'd just have a quick smoke.

However, not only did his doctor advise against it, so did the warning stamped on the oxygen tank he was toting in the back seat -- the same tank he was using to help him breathe.

His final cigarette really blew him away when the tank exploded in the car. He was rushed to the University Hospital, but doctors were unable to save him.
