SOUTHGATE, Mich. (AP) — An explosion destroyed a house before
dawn Thursday in suburban Detroit, killing a woman who was
trapped in the rubble and severely injuring a man who was blown
to the front yard.
“Both had extensive burns and internal injuries,” Southgate
police Det. Sgt. Nathan Mosczynski said. “The woman also had an
extensive leg injury.”
The explosion woke up the neighborhood before 6 a.m. A couch
crashed into a window across the street, and debris landed
blocks away, some of it hanging from trees.
“I thought it was thunder at first,” Arturo Ramirez, who lives
nearby, told The Detroit News. “Then I saw a crack form on my
ceiling.”
A 38-year-old woman was pulled from rubble inside the home and
later died from her injuries, police said.
“Right now it’s being treated as a gas-related incident. But the
root cause is still under investigation," Mosczynski said.
