A 62-year-old man was reportedly found dead inside a residence in Newark after authorities discovered grenades believed to date back to World War II.
The discovery raised concerns about the potential danger posed by the historic explosive devices. Grenades can remain hazardous for decades, particularly when their condition and storage history are unknown.
When suspected military explosives are discovered inside a home, authorities typically secure the surrounding area and call trained bomb technicians to assess the devices. Residents and members of the public should avoid handling or moving suspected explosives.
The circumstances surrounding the man's death, including the cause of death and whether the grenades were connected to the incident, have not been independently confirmed in the available reporting.
The discovery also highlights the risks associated with storing or keeping old military ordnance in residential properties. Even items preserved for decades might remain dangerous.
Further details about the investigation, the man's identity, and the disposition of the grenades should be confirmed through the relevant Newark police department or local authorities.
