A Florida man hunting in Wayne County, Pennsylvania was accidentally killed when a propane heater exploded Saturday.
The incident occurred around 12:45 p.m. in a wooded area off Bridge Street in Texas Township, which is about a 45-minute drive northeast from Scranton.
Pennsylvania State Police at Honesdale said Gregory Scheer, 81, of Chiefland, Florida, was inside a hunting stand on the ground at the time, state police said.
Physical evidence and interviews conducted at the scene indicated that Scheer’s portable propane-powered heater possibly malfunctioned or was improperly connected, causing the attached propane bottle to explode.
