Newsy
Investigators are working around the clock to determine why a Michigan home exploded over the weekend.
Four people died and two others were hospitalized when a Michigan home exploded Saturday, creating a blast that could be heard from miles away.
Northfield Township police and fire crews dispatched to the single-family residence, which is located about 45 miles west of Detroit, arrived after 4 p.m. to find only the basement standing and debris covering approximately two acres of the property.
Upon learning six occupants had been in the residence, authorities began searching the area for them, while fire crews tried to extinguish the fire.
Personnel found three deceased individuals and helped transport three others for medical treatment, with one of the injured later dying from their injuries.
Investigators are now working around the clock to try to determine the cause of the explosion, which scattered pieces of evidence far and wide. They told Scripps News Detroit it could be days or months before the mystery is solved and shared with the public.
