Man dead after fireworks mishap

Man dead after fireworks mishap By Brendan Kirby     DAUPHIN ISLAND, Alabama (WALA) A local resident died following a fireworks mishap off of Port Royal Street on the north side of the island, according to authorities. Dauphin Island police did not release the 55-year-old victim’s name, but neighbors identified him as John Walter. They said he had gone out to the middle of Lafitte Bay with a paddle board and some fireworks. They say for several years, he has put on a show immediately preceding the official fireworks event. “He was out there and had, I think, two had gone off and then one of them exploded prematurely in the box,” said Ernest Ladd, who watched the incident from his home and called 911. “And what we think happened is, you know, either the percussion from that, or just one of the fireworks when it exploded, hit him in the head. I think he had some damage on the temple.”
