An inquest into an explosion that happened in a town in the U.K. last year has revealed some rather shocking facts. In April 2025, the body of 53-year-old David Howard was pulled from the rubble of his home after the building exploded. It was soon discovered that the catastrophe was possibly intentional.
The inquest which concluded this week discovered that the “most probable cause” of the almighty explosion was an electrical spark from the fridge freezer according to Watch manager Christopher Trendowicz. The spark may have ignited fumes which had leaked from a cookers gas pipe which had been “stretched to the point where it would fail,” as per BBC News. It was also established that Howard died from asphyxiation after becoming trapped underneath the rubble of his former home.
