Investigations by the Coroners Court of Queensland have found a Brisbane man most likely died from a furious explosion after he used the wrong charger to power his second-hand e-scooter.

The court heard a young man known as Tyson had been sleeping in a camper trailer at his grandmother’s residence with his pregnant partner Jade, when an explosion caused severe burns to his body, resulting in his death.
