Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said that one man has died following a fireworks accident in Wareham.

 

First responders were called to Beach Street just after 9 p.m., and found a man with an apparent facial injury from a firework.

 

The victim, identified as 70 year-old Robert Spagnuolo, of Wareham, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

 

After speaking with several witnesses on scene, investigators said that Spagnuolo was setting off fireworks at the beach when one exploded in his face, causing traumatic injuries.

 

Wareham Police then contacted State Police assigned to the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office, the State Police Bomb Squad, and the Massachusetts Fire Marshal’s Office, to investigate the incident.
