A tragic incident in Gloucester County, New Jersey, revealed a murder-suicide following a home explosion that left a man and woman dead. The female victim was found in bed with a gunshot wound to the head, classified as homicide, while the male was discovered in the living room with a handgun, ruled as a suicide by fire. Investigators reported tampered gas lines and the usage of an accelerant. The cause and motive of this violent event remain unclear, causing distress among local residents who witnessed the explosion.
The investigation conducted in the aftermath of the fire revealed the presence of an accelerant and that the home's gas line had been tampered with, enabling unrestricted flow of natural gas into the home's interior.
I was terrified, absolutely terrified because I never heard an explosion like that in my life, and it just was, the house was, basically, burning to the ground very, very quickly.
A medical examiner ruled his death as a suicide by fire, while the woman's death has been ruled a homicide.
