A woman was seriously injured in Connecticut after authorities say she mistook a stick of dynamite for a candle.
The Bridgeport Fire Marshal's Office has concluded its initial investigation and is calling the incident a tragic accident.
Officials say the family's Lindley Street home lost power as a result of thunderstorms Thursday night, and after a trip to a closed Home Depot to purchase emergency lighting, the family remembered what they believed to be candles left in the basement of the home by the previous residents.
The victim, who is approximately 30 years old and a married mother of two, attempted to light one of the "candles." Instead, it was a quarter stick of dynamite. She suffered severe injuries to one of her hands, including the potential loss of several fingers. She also suffered serious injuries to her face.

I'm no lawyer, but isn't dynamite illegal and couldn't they charge the previous owners?
