A Jay county man using a cigarette lighter to check the barrel of a muzzleloader 
was killed Monday night when the weapon discharged in his face, sheriff's 
investigators said.

Gregory David Pryor, 19, died in his parents rural home about 11:30 PM.

been firing properly. He was using the lighter to look in the barrel when the
gunpowder ignited.
