    Westerly police are investigating the role fireworks may have played in the death of a 39-year-old man Sunday night.

    David Ziegenfuss was killed in an incident involving the use of a mortar-type firework at a home on Pound Road where he was staying, said Westerly Police Chief Paul Gingerella.

    No further information was available, Gingerella said Thursday.

    What are mortar-style fireworks?

    Mortar-type fireworks launch out of cylindrical tubes.

    They were associated with most of the 11 fireworks-related deaths that took place in the U.S. 2022, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
