A Pennsylvania man blew up his own home on the day of his
daughter’s wedding in what was being investigated as a suicide,
authorities said.
The homeowner was found dead in the wreckage Saturday after an
explosion and fire destroyed his property in Edgewood, news
station WTAE reported.
Neighbors said they spotted the man — whose identity wasn’t
released — on the sidewalk before the home went up in flames.
“The whole house was on fire,” neighbor Rochelle Levine told
WTAE. “The whole house was one big flame. It just exploded
within a couple minutes.”
Edgewood Police Chief Robert Payne said the department is
investigating the explosion as a suspicious incident.
“It looks like he disconnected the gas line in the basement of
the house and of course, it wouldn’t take much of a spark to
explode the house,” Payne told the news outlet.
Officials said suicide notes were discovered in the homeowner’s
vehicle.
Nicole Antolovich, who is a neighbor, said the explosion came
the same day as the wedding of the man’s daughter, WTAE reported.
“I’ve known them my whole life,” Antolovich told the news
station. “Their daughter was getting married today and they were
supposed to be at a wedding.”
