An Armstrong County man died last week following what is being described as a “freak accident” involving a burn barrel.
Our news partners at WPXI-TV report that 48-year-old Mark Liti was struck by debris when something exploded inside the burn barrel last Tuesday.
Liti’s brother said it’s not known exactly what exploded inside the barrel.
Liti was taken to Armstrong County Memorial Hospital where he later died of his injuries.
Liti had lived in Parks Township, but was a native of Buffalo Township and attended Freeport High School.
A GoFundMe account has been made to help Liti’s family. Click here for the link.
