An 84-year-old man dies after a gas cylinder explodes in his home in Alicante. In the subsequent fire, a son of the deceased was also seriously injured.
The explosion took place around 2:40 p.m. and caused a large fire. Civil Guard members from the Aspe post are already investigating the origin of the explosion, although everything points "to a gas leak from a domestic cylinder," says the mayor of the town. For now, the City Council has declared a day of mourning for the death of its neighbor Manuel.
