(DAILYMAIL) — A Chinese man was badly burned after static electricity from his clothes ignited fumes from a gas leak at his home as he dressed.
Wen Chung suffered second and third degrees to his face, neck and hands in an explosion at his home in Jiangdu, in eastern China, that his nephew said could be felt 300 metres away.
The 78-year-old is being treated for injuries at the Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital that his relatives say were partly caused during his attempts to put the fire out.
