Christopher Donaghy, the 27-year-old host of a Super Bowl party on Sunday, was killed when a guest at his party shot him accidentally.
According to this article that ran in the Philadelphia Daily News, Donaghy hosted a party of about 8 people. One of those guests, an off-duty Plymouth Township Police officer, left a gun he owned on a table during the game.
The article said that another guest, Ronald Parcutt, was playing with the weapon when it discharged in his hands and struck Donaghy in the back. He died less than 2 hours later.
Donaghy, 27 was the son of a Philadelphia police officer.
