Canadian jackpot winner dies after gold plating his testicles

Many people like to flash their cash in different ways –
for instance, gold and diamond mouth grills. But to
celebrate his recent jackpot win, Justin decided to take
it to another level. Justin Reiter from Alberta, Canada,
died of medical  complications after attempting to gold
plate his own private parts to celebrate an astonishing
$598,556 jackpot win.
According to friends, the 27-year-old was enamored
with the 2002 movie comedy Goldmember—an Austin
Powers parody of the Bond movie Goldfinger in which
Powers is hunting a criminal mastermind who colors his
victims’ man parts in gold.
Justin started by painting his private parts with a lead-
based paint, but quickly decided that a simple coloring
wasn’t enough: he needed to take it to the next level, he
needed the real gold. To complete the makeshift
operation, Reiter used a professional automotive gold
plater that he borrowed from a garage. Unfortunately in
the twelve hours following the procedure, Justin
encountered a series of health issues that ultimately led
to his death.
Autopsy reports shows that the actual cause of death
was lead-based paint poisoning. Dr Ian Joseffson of
the Alberta Community Hospital warns of a growing
trend of wannabie gangsters attempt the “deadly
operation”. Some experts believe the trend stems from
the Mayas who painted their bodies with gold to
empower themselves as offering the gods. Others
think it’s because, ultimately, these people are silly.
