The Straight Version
David Russell McCoubrie, 79, died when a house burst into flame on Matakana Island in the Bay of Plenty.
The UNHINGED Take
At 79, the old geezer finally met his match when his own tiny Matakana shack decided it was high time to christen himself a battlestation – and the only excuse was that he’d been telling the neighbours he’d run a small catering enterprise called ‘Flambé’. He must have thought the house fire was a bold marketing stunt, because who needs insurance when you can show the neighbourhood a two‑hour free fire‑starter demonstration? The Bay of Plenty will go down in the archives as the place where a senior citizen’s overdue oil pan melted into an unauthorized pyrotechnic show that cost everyone a good portion of their lives.
