A man in Northern #England was killed after he blew up his terraced house in a #gas #explosion following a #rent increase. 3 other houses were badly damaged and 200 people evacuated.
HM #Coroner recorded a narrative verdict, as he was under influence of #drugs and #alcohol at the time and had previous #MentalHealth problems - it was not evident he deliberately intended to cause a full scale explosion, but may not have been thinking rationally, but a stray spark from the motor capacitor in a fridge freezer ignited the gas..
