The New York Daily News has the grizzly details of a freak accident yesterday that left a 19-year-old man dead. Roman Pirozek Jr. was piloting his toy helicopter yesterday in the park when he lost control of the machine, which then dropped from the sky and its rotor blades sliced the top of his head and throat. He was killed almost instantly, say the four witnesses who saw the accident. Pirozek was an experienced pilot, but he was attempting what police described as an unusual stunt when he was hit by his helicopter.
