Loner stabbed himself to death trying to separate two frozen burgers with a knife

A UK man accidentally stabbed himself to death while trying to separate two frozen burgers with a knife in a freakish accident that initially left cops baffled, a court hearing into his bizarre death was told.

Barry Griffiths, 57, died after he accidentally plunged the blade into his stomach at his home in Powys, Wales, in July last year, the Western Telegraph reported.

Griffiths, who lived alone and was described as “very private,” had been dead for several days before police carried out a welfare check and found blood spattered all through his kitchen and bedroom.

His phone, wallet and computer were all untouched and there was no sign of any disturbance inside the apartment.

There was also no indication that Griffiths, who was found lying fully clothed on his bed, had been assaulted.
