The following email was just sent around my company notifying of the loss of a loved one. I work in a fairly large company and don't know the individuals involved, the ages, or the details. I'm relaying it because I think most of us would not have considered drilling a potentially fatal activity.
"'s son, Ryan, passed away this week. Ryan was at home building a crate or box to house an injured animal, drilling holes in the lid when a piece of material broke off and impaled into his heart."
As a woodworker, my curiosity up to know the details. But there's no way I'm asking, so don't ask me too.
