AN APPARENT GAS LEAK IN A SANDWICH, MASSACHUSETTS, home early on Thanksgiving Day led to a massive explosion and fire that burned the lone occupant and destroyed the house.

The victim’s sister told reporters that her brother had been complaining about the smell of natural gas ever since a new water heater was installed on Wednesday. The victim, Joseph Kuzava suffered 2nd-degree burns over his upper torso and was flown to a burn unit in Boston where he is on a respirator. He is expected to live, however.
