  • Two people died in a New Jersey house fire that neighbors said erupted after a "gigantic explosion," with a criminal investigation now underway.

On August 12, 2023, a house explosion in Lake Zurich, Illinois, resulted in the deaths of two individuals, identified as a 77-year-old man and his 71-year-old son. The explosion, which occurred around 8:30 p.m., created a massive fireball and completely destroyed the home. The Lake County Sheriff's Office is conducting a criminal investigation into the incident, with preliminary findings suggesting that natural gas may have been involved. Neighbors reported hearing a loud explosion and feeling their houses shake, and the blast was so powerful that it shattered windows in nearby homes. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the exact cause of the explosion.
