EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- An aspiring musician died hours after suffering burns from a flaming cocktail, the authorities said.
Kyle Kristopher Guyer, 23, had been celebrating his pending graduation from the University of Oregon. Guyer was in the Sacred Heart Medical Center early Sunday after he was served a drink that involved dropping a flaming shot of liquor into a glass of beer. The burning alcohol splashed onto his hands, causing second-degree burns, said Frank Ratti of the Lane County medical examiner's office.
Emergency room personnel gave Guyer an intravenous drip of the pain killer Dilaudid, Ratti said. Later that night, he was released with a prescription for another pain killer, Percocet.
Guyer's roommates told police he acted fine when he returned home. Around 4 a.m. Sunday, Guyer went to bed with no indication of a medical emergency, Ratti said.
Just before 8 a.m., Guyer's roommates entered his room and found him unresponsive. They called 911, but Guyer was pronounced dead when emergency personnel arrived.
