A Chinese man, who was initially thought to be killed by lightening, has exploded at his funeral whilst about to be cremated, revealing the real cause of his death.
The man died when his home was left in ruins after a mystery explosion on a stormy day, but it now turns out that what had hit Mr Wang's home was a lost weather rocket, containing silver iodide, which is shot into the sky in order to break up hail into rain. It had failed to explode and instead hit Mr Wang, killing him instantly - and it was this that later caused his body to explode in the crematorium, blowing cremator doors off its hinges.
