Man Detonates Explosive Device

Police are investigating the man's death in his mother's yard as a suicide.

Police are investigating the death of a man in his early 40s today in west Toledo. Police say an explosive device detonated and killed the man instantly in his mother's yard in the 4300 block of Willis Blvd. The ATF was also on the scene looking for other devices. Police also say the explosive was not commercial or military in nature, but an improvised device.

No one else was hurt when the blast happened. Police say Lawrence Lindner, 44, was the only victim. Investigators say the bomb was simple and man made. They say the bomb had a wick attached to it, and they believe Lindner lit the bomb in his mother's front yard and waited for it to go off. Investigators did find a note nearby. They say its contents say he planned to take his life.

Yeah, we didn't need any of that going on today. They had their hands full the way it was, with approx. 150 protestors, plus a 20' tall inflatable RAT holding a sign asking "Where are our jobs?"

By the way............. Wonder if that will affect her landscaping efforts in the spring/summer.......

My crew from 7's said it was quite the site, they had to go there to meter the area just to make sure he did'nt make the bomb with some type of haz substance.

I know I'm late on this but I cant believe that you people laugh about this. Lawrence Lindner is my uncle and I find none of this comical.

you guys can sit back and laugh and bring the bashing on because I know its coming.

I'm a police officer/emt and I deal with this kind of stuff which I'm sure you do as well.

Bottom line is that Larry is my uncle and my family and I had to go through a very messed up ordeal that I hope you ppl never have to.

"By the way............. Wonder if that will affect her landscaping efforts in the spring/summer......."

for your information no my grandmother didn't worry about her landscaping you heartless jackass

"Well he always wanted to go out with a......BANG!!!"

that's just not funny, i hope something like this never happens to you...
