He clearly made a serious mistake. A small (1' long) pipe bomb can send debris 10' into the air. His head should have disappeared the instant it detonated.

I take it homemade explosives haven't been outlawed here in the UK yet...

Once in a while, I have renewed hope for the human race. Then something like this happens.

While in the process of taking his own life (what a stupid idiot) there obviously was no damage to his brain; as there was no brain to damage.

"People threatened to go to the police about it but Kevin was Kevin; nobody had the guts to."

And Kevin didn't--doesn't--have the brains to.

"My opinion was that Kevin was mucking about. . . ."

His muck is all over the place now.

Mr Barnes was described as a risk-taker with a history of harming himself and the inquest heard he had a short temper fuse.

What was left of his head to perform "a risky medical procedure" on?

Sounds like he should have had a lobotomy years ago.

What is the British equivalent for "Hey, y'all! Watch this!"?

The real tragedy is no one got this on film.

This is a pipebomb.
This is a pipebomb in your mouth.
This is your brain...scattered all about the shed.

Any questions?

What a cliffhanger--they left out the most important part of the story: well, was she impressed?

and he died on the same day - 13 July, 2002.

He's not dead. He's pining for the Fjords!

Actually, he could still be practicing law somewhere.

His girlfriend, Elizabeth Elliot, said: "My opinion was that Kevin was mucking about but didn't actually mean for the pipe bomb to go off..."

He stuck a pipe bomb in his mouth, lit the fuse...and he didn't mean for it to go off? I would attempt to figure out what he did mean it to do, but I'm afraid of serious brain cramps.

Kevin Barnes, 20, of Joseph Priestly Court in Daventry, took the device into his mouth and flicked a lighter. . . .

Obviously a man of science, conducting an experiment, much like Priestly himself.

"She said complications from a risky medical procedure meant to save him contributed to his death."

Sadly, I smell a lawsuit over this. What kind of risky medical procedure did he have that would help his head to blow up -- as opposed to not having a medical procedure done?

"Your honor, if Doctor __________ hadn't performed a ____________ on Kevin, his head wouldn't have blown off -- it just would've been really cool!"
