[font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]CENTERVILLE, Utah (AP) - John, a porcelain commode gunned down in an accidental shooting at a fast food restaurant's bathroom, has died. His age was not immediately known.[/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]
The toilet was shattered by a bullet Jan. 12 when a man's gun fell from its holster as he was pulling up his pants, police said. Police do not plan to file criminal charges in connection with the incident.[/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]
Christian Martinez, manager of the Carl's Jr. where John was gunned down, held a memorial service Friday at the restaurant. He gave away bottles of John's favorite toilet cleaner, Kaboom Bowl Blaster, to the eatery's first 50 patrons.[/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]
A Bountiful flower shop provided a large floral arrangement.[/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]
"In all my years, I can say without a doubt that I have never delivered for a toilet," said deliveryman Doug Graham, "but I thought it was the funniest thing I've ever heard. I got a kick out of it."[/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]
Remnants of John hit and cut the gun owner's arm, but he was not seriously injured.[/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]
Police blamed John's death on the gun and style of holster the man was using.[/font] [font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]
"He was survived by the men's urinal and wash sink," said Martinez. "He left us way too soon."[/font]
