Croatian media report that the tragedy occurred on Easter Monday during a cannon firing, which, according to witnesses, failed to fire several times in a row before eventually discharging a shot. "A horrific scene. I can't even describe it to you. Horror. The cannon tore the man apart," said one of the eyewitnesses. An official statement notes that in the village of Hum Koลกniฤki, near Veliki Tabor Castle, the cannon killed one person, and the exact circumstances of the tragedy will be determined through an investigation and criminal inquiry. Emergency medical services arrived at the scene shortly, but the man could not be saved.
