A Russian man has died after detonating a grenade in his car.

Alexander 'Sasha' Chechik took several photos to send to his friends, after having taken the pin out of the grenade. 

A friend replied "Listen, don't do stupid things. Where are you?"

Police who tended to the carnage believe that the explosion was unintentional and the man did not believe the grenade would explode without throwing it. Thereby, his death was categorized as an accident, not suicide.
