Man in Germany dies after blowing up condom machine
He was hit in the head by a flying piece of metal.
The 29-year-old was brought by his two accomplices to a nearby hospital, where he died shortly afterwards from his injuries.
The two men, aged 27 and 29, told hospital staff that he had fallen down the stairs.
Suspicious, the hospital informed police of the case, and the truth later came to light after one of them admitted the victim's injuries were related to the blast, which occurred Friday in the western town of Schoeppingen, near the Dutch border.
Police found cash and condom packets lying on the ground at the scene of the incident. The men did not take any of the contents set loose by the explosion.
The three men had apparently gotten into a car after triggering the blast using a home-made explosive device, said police.
The deceased did not shut his door and was hit by debris when the device detonated.
