No charges will be issued in the death of a Hartland man killed by an explosion involving a cannon at a baby shower, the Genesee County Prosecutor's Office said Wednesday.
"This was a terrible tragedy at what should have otherwise been a happy celebration of new life, family and friends," Prosecutor David Leyton said in a statement. "The family of the victim made it very clear they did not want to see any criminal charges brought against anyone for what they believe was a very tragic accident that no one saw coming."
Leyton said the police investigation did not turn up any evidence of criminal gross negligence.
