HALIFAX, NS – Tragedy struck a Halloween party in downtown Halifax last night. Joe Wallis, who was dressed up as Mike Duffy was pronounced dead after suffocating in his mask.
“We believe that the mask, being designed with an accurate amount of skin folds and flaps, trapped all the air, and deprived the deceased of oxygen,” reported EMS Nelly Quinn.
Wallis’s friends, Olivia Fauler and Eric Black, are deeply shocked by the sudden death. “I thought the panting noises he was making were just him getting into character!” said Fauler.
The three were participating in a group costume, with Fauler dressed as Pamela Wallin, and Black as Patrick Brazeau. The incident has led to costume makers promising to make sure all masks of Canadian senators have large mouth holes for both safety and accuracy.
This is the nation’s most unfortunate costume related death since a man was accidentally stabbed to death by the chin of a Brian Mulroney mask.
