CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man who grabbed a knife to try to get his two young children out of a locked car died when he fell on the blade, Charlotte police said.The Charlotte Observer reported that 22-year-old Miguel Angel Rivera Lemus died Sunday afternoon at Carolinas Medical Center after being stabbed in the chest.Charlotte-Mecklenburg police were investigating but said Lemus' death appears to have been an accident.Lemus and his wife had dropped by their apartment briefly before planning an errand when they realized they had locked their children and keys in the car, authorities said.The woman searched for spare keys and Lemus grabbed a large butcher knife he hoped to use to pry open a window, police said. Lemus fell down six stairs and landed on the knife, police said.The woman got the children out with the spare keys.

Wow.

Wow. Note to self : Don't do that.

why not just look for the key with her?

Bet she made up the whole story... probably was leaving him, put the kids in the car, locked it so he couldn't get them out. then stabbed him with the knife and shoved him down the stairs when he tried to stop her.Otherwise its a pretty tragic story.

Yep, you do not bring a knife to a gun fight... Oh wait, that does not apply here!This is sad but when your stupid filter is not on, things like this can happen.

Was it Brian Adams?

Do I smell a Darwin Award?

thats why its called a "Spare Key" for those kind of situations.

Better option might have been to break a window and unlock the car if the spare key was no where to be found.
