A man has died in Germany after blowing up a condom vending machine

A local hospital informed police that a 29-year-old had died after being brought in by two other men. They initially said he had fallen down stairs, but police said Monday that one of the men later admitted the victim's injuries were related to the explosion.

They say the three men apparently got into a car after triggering the explosion, but the 29-year-old didn't close his door and was hit by debris when the machine exploded.
