He had three kids, pity they didn't come alone and die as well.
Howard Miller, 39, was killed in a welding explosion after mixing two compounds and inadvertently creating a bomb that shook West Auckland....(New Zealand)
Miller had come to O'Neill's house on Universal Drive to weld a new exhaust manifold onto O'Neill's Holden WB Kingswood car at about 4.30pm on Monday.
When Miller arrived he was excited to tell O'Neill he'd managed to store two components of oxy-fuel, oxygen and acetylene, into one LPG bottle.
"He came down the drive and was saying he had this awesome new thing which he had managed to make work which was oxy-acetylene in a LPG bottle.
"We were going to use it to bend the manifold. But you can't mix the two at all."
Miller had taken the regulator off the bottle which prevents oxygen or other chemicals coming back into the bottle.
"I knew not to mess with it, he tried to get me to stay, he asked me three times."
Miller then tried unbolting the regulator on the tank and tried to attach the gas torch head straight onto the bottle.
"To make it fit without the hoses, he had adapted the bottle."
Miller grabbed some pliers off the shelf, then O'Neill started to feel wary and said he was going to step aside.
"I said, 'I'm out of here'. I knew not to mess with it. It is crazy."
O'Neill said he walked out next to his car and heard a small bang.
"It wasn't a loud bang.
"I looked up and I saw bits of shrapnel above me, bits of steel and iron and wood.
"I turned around to say, 'Howard you idiot' but when I turned around the shed was flat."
It was then that O'Neill realised something had gone horribly wrong.
"He started calling out 'Josh, Josh, Can you help me man' and his face looked completely normal. Not panicked or anything."
O'Neill's initial reaction was that Miller may not have been badly injured.
But it wasn't until O'Neill went to grab him by the arm that he realised the extent of Miller's injuries.
"I reached down for his arm... it was all shredded up'.
"I said, 'Howard I don't know where to grab you'.
The article has since been edited and the rest of the injuries weren't listed...
The friend on the scene said that he then saw, this idiots' legs were shredded as well as his guts was hanging out....then he died.
