One person has died in a house explosion in Mississauga late Monday night, Peel police say.<\/p>\n
Emergency crews were called to the home near Mavis and Bristol roads at around 10:30 p.m. and found it engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n
Peel police tell 680 NewsRadio there was an explosion and damage to the home was extensive. <\/p>\n
Police are still working to identify the person who was killed.<\/p>\n
Cst. Tyler Bell Morena said all the people associated with the home have been accounted for so they aren\u2019t sure who the person was. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe had no reason to believe that anyone should have been in the home that\u2019s associated with the residents at the time,\u201d said Bell-Morena. \u201cWe were able to make contact with everybody in the residence or verify the well being of those people, corroborating the fact that there should be nobody inside. When investigators went into the threshold that was safe, they made the discovery.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police had originally said no injuries were reported. <\/p>\n
The Ontario Fire Marshal\u2019s Office said they have started their investigation and will continue Wednesday. They are awaiting heavy machinery to clear the debris in order for them to continue the investigation. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe structure right now is unstable and that\u2019s why no one has conducted a more thorough search,\u201d said Bell-Morena.<\/p>\n
The cause and origin of the explosion have not yet been determined.<\/p>\n
The coroner\u2019s office will be conducting an autopsy to determine the person\u2019s cause of death. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf any of those investigations determine any type of criminality, Peel Regional Police will be conducting the follow-up on that and looking who is responsible,\u201d added Bell-Morena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One person has died in a house explosion in Mississauga late Monday night, Peel police say.
