(Tony Fera\/CITYNEWS) <\/p>\n<p>One person has died in a house explosion in Mississauga late Monday night, Peel police say.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Peel police tell 680 NewsRadio there was an explosion, and damage to the home was extensive.<\/p>\n<p>Police initially said there were no injuries but that a body was discovered once it was safe to go inside.<\/p>\n<p>Cst. Tyler Bell Morena said everyone associated with the home has been accounted for, so they aren\u2019t sure who the person was. <\/p>\n<p>\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<p>Police said on Wednesday that the victim is a man but did not release his identity pending notification of next of kin. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death.<\/p>\n<p>The Ontario Fire Marshal\u2019s Office has started its investigation, and heavy machinery was brought in to clear the debris on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe structure right now is unstable, and that\u2019s why no one has conducted a more thorough search,\u201d said Bell-Morena.<\/p>\n<p>The cause and origin of the explosion have not yet been determined.<\/p>\n<p>\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":"The scene after a house exploded in Mississauga on March 23, 2026.
