As maddening as some of these issues genuinely are, it really doesn't help to turn pprune into something that begins to read like the Daily Rail:
The story quoted doesn't add up and is clearly from a sensationlist rag/local online boulevard tabloid that doesn't even take the time to do a spell check (it misspelt hospital for heaven's sake!); the police were quoted (by the BBC) as being initially satisfied that the laser incident and man's death were unrelated.
