NEW YORK — The discovery of a family relic turned deadly on Saturday.
A father and his two sons were looking through their grandfather's belongings in their home when they discovered a hand grenade on Saturday, according to the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
The explosion hospitalized the two sons, 14 and 18, with shrapnel wounds. The father, 47-year-old Bryan Niedert, died from the incident, according to the Lake County Coroner's Office. Though many of these antiques are deactivated by removing live explosives from the primer and charge, some grenades continue carrying active explosives.
