COSTA MESA (CBSLA.com) — Orange County authorities Monday were investigating the death of a 52-year-old man who blew himself up on front lawn of his home.

The incident began Sunday evening when Costa Mesa police officers responded to a residence in the 3100 block of Bermuda Drive after receiving a call from neighbors about a man laying in his front yard.

The unidentified man refused the officers’ help who then left the scene.

At 7:44 p.m., authorities received a second call from the same address regarding an explosion, police said.

“We were in the house when we heard the explosion,” Laurie, a neighbor, said. “We always hear fireworks or whatever and didn’t think much of it until the cops showed up.”

It was unclear if the man committed suicide or if the explosion was accidental.

Neighbors say the victim had a very strong dislike for the government.

Authorities have obtained a search warrant for the property and have found at least three additional explosive device in the home, Sgt. Jerry Hildeman said.

More than a dozen surrounding residences have been evacuated as a precaution.

The explosion is being investigated by the Orange County Bomb Squad, the Huntington Beach Haz Mat Team, the FBI and the Costa Mesa Police Department.

No additional details were released.

Yeah unlike those Weathermen Underground guys that Obama and the liberals love. They were/are heroes. It’s just Conservatives that are evil.

Come on, CBS, you can do better than that. I'm sure his first or last name is the same as the first or last name of someone in the Tea Party. And if he was white, I'm sure you could throw in some innuendo about how he was a White Supremacist. And where is the commentary about how things like this are happening more and more because of the "climate of fear" being whipped up by the Republicans over gun rights and gay marriage?

The cause of death is he blew himself up...what's to investigate?

Moral of the story- never stand next to a “ right wing extremist”. They are Weapons of Mass Destruction and should only be approached by qualified and well armed law enforcement officials. /s

So, obviously, someone used a "TeaParty-enator" on him (similar to a Rodenator).

Yeah, right. “His neighbors suspect him of being a racist, homophobic, gun-owning Tea Party radical like all the rest of them, but hey, it’s just what the neighbors say and so you can’t sue us for libel...” Journalism is dead in this country.

I’ve noticed a similar agenda at one of our local stations. They are adding the word “concealed firearm” whenever they can work it into a crime report.

Other equally useless non sequiturs the MSM could employ in their “writing” of a story such as this...

It was unclear if the man committed suicide or if the explosion was accidental. Neighbors say the victim was an avid golfer.

It was unclear if the man committed suicide or if the explosion was accidental. Neighbors say the victim kept a neat lawn.

It was unclear if the man committed suicide or if the explosion was accidental. Neighbors say the victim was fond of Little Debbie Chocolate Cupcakes.
