Police say the 56 year old was killed by flying debris.
A family in Knoxville, Iowa was celebrating a gender reveal party over the weekend, but it set off an explosion that tragically killed a woman. Police said in a statement to CBS News that the boy/girl announcement resulted in an explosion that caused"a flying piece of debris to strike the victim." The 56-year-old woman died at the scene.
Authorities haven't released any other details about what happened, but the local community in Knoxville is already reeling from the loss."It's something that's supposed to be fun and exciting," retired pastor Gary Roozeboom told CBS affiliate KCCI-TV."You have your family there and then, wow, everything changed in an instant."
While gender reveal parties can be as straightforward as cutting a cake to reveal different colored icing, some couples have taken things to concerning extremes. Back in 2017, a gender reveal party ended up creating a wildfire that caused $8 million in damage burned 47,000 acres of land. Gender reveal parties also made rounds in the news cycle over the summer after the woman who invented them admitted that she low-key finds them problematic now, since sex, gender, and sexual orientation all mean different things.
“I’ve felt a lot of mixed feelings about my random contribution to the culture. It just exploded into crazy after that. Literally—guns firing, forest fires, more emphasis on gender than has ever been necessary for a baby," Jenna Myers Karvunidis wrote.
