Lewisville, Jan 24: A man injured in an explosion that leveled a North Texas home that
is part of an affordable housing program has died at a
hospital.
Christian Community Action president and CEO Ron Batts says
55-year-old Scott Deahl died. Batts' nonprofit group owns the home and rents it
out to families who are struggling financially.
Deahl lived at the home
in Lewisville, about 20 miles northwest of Dallas.
Two firefighters who
were standing on the street near the home were also injured in the explosion.
One was hospitalized with chest pains and expected to recover; the other was
treated and released that day.
Authorities are trying to determine what
caused the blast inside the home. Firefighters initially went to the home that
morning after a gas leak was reported.
