 I am a detective with the council bluffs iowa police department. there was a fatal incident that occurred in which the adult male victim had the engine running and in park. the carburetor was taken apart and there was a can of carburetor cleaner was on the ground. a single blade of the cooling fan apparently broke off/came off of the fan. the blade cut through the plastic 'protective' housing. the victim was believed to be standing near the front passenger tire or near the battery (passenger-side headlight area). a witness reported hearing high revving of the engine and it was concluded that the victim was doing so manually. the blade was found resting about ten feet away on a stair approximately four feet off the ground. the victim was fatally wounded by a deep cut across the left side of his neck where he lost a significant amount of blood. his wife found him shortly after the incident, medics arrived and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. pictures are available upon request. thank you. *tr
