A British man who believed he was wearing a "stab-proof vest" died last summer after he took a knife to his own chest, local newspaper Teesside Gazette reported Saturday, citing an investigation into his death.

Jordan Easton, 22, of Thornaby, reportedly was in a friend's kitchen on Aug. 23, 2017, when he stabbed himself.

"While in the kitchen, he took hold a knife to demonstrate it was stab-proof and sadly realized it wasn’t the case," assistant coroner Karin Welsh said during a court hearing.

Darwin Award candidate.  :mental:

Yep, he was only 22 so chances are good he didn't yet procreate.

Ya gotta admit there is something about the phraseology of that statement that is uniquely British.

I wonder if he will get a refund?  :-)
