BONN A 32-year-old German man died from injuries suffered when a camping site toilet exploded after he tried to light up a cigarette, police in the western town of Montabaur said. A team of experts is investigating whether the cause of the explosion was a defective natural gas pipe or sewer gas from the drainage pit, said a police spokesman from Montabaur, a town 60 km (40 miles) south of Bonn. The investigation is not yet complete.

The man was hurtled through a closed window by the explosion after he tried to use his cigarette lighter. He was taken to hospital suffering from burns. He died on Saturday, the police spokesman said. (Reuter)
