A soon-to-be dad was killed Sunday in New York after the device he was constructing for his upcoming gender-reveal party exploded, police said.

The blast occurred at a home in Liberty, N.Y., killing Christopher Pekny, 28, and injuring his brother Michael Pekny, 27, who was transported to Garnet Medical Center in Middletown, according to a statement from Major James C. Michael of the New York State Police.

Another brother called the explosion a “freak accident.”

“The freakiest of freak accidents that I could ever imagine,” the 34-year-old told the New York Times.

The injured brother was listed in stable condition, the report said.

The family reportedly owns Robin Hood Diner, a restaurant in the Catskills area of New York. The family took to Facebook to thank followers for their “overwhelming display of love and support that you all have shown.”
