A Ukrainian chemistry student has been found dead in his parents’ home in the Ukrainian city of Konotop, after his jaw was blown off by what is believed to be exploding chewing gum. The student who studied at Kiev Polytechnic Institute was found by relatives who had heard a loud bang coming from his room where he was working on his computer at the time, they discovered his body with his face completely disfigured.

It is believed the student who had a bizarre habit of chewing gum after he had dipped it in citric acid, had accidently eaten some gum that had been covered in some sort of explosive material, confusing it with citric acid covered packets. Some sort of explosive material was discovered next to the body and forensic experts are travelling from Kiev to investigate as it’s feared the substance could explode if transported.
