4. French blogger killed by exploding whipped cream canister
A sad, strange story surfaced on Thursday regarding a popular French fitness blogger. Rebecca Burger was killed by an exploding whipped cream can after the device hit her chest and triggered a heart attack. The canister was recalled from the market back in 2013.
5. The NBA draft is complete
The NHL draft is on Friday night, but the NBA draft already happened on Thursday night. Markelle Fultz was taken first overall by the Philadelphia 76ers before the Los Angeles Lakers selected Lonzo Ball with the second overall pick. Lonzo’s dad, Lavar, then gave another one of his classic interviews following the pick.
