Investigators identified the individuals from evidence recovered from the scene and from surviving witness, 34-year-old Jason Coomer, the son of Mitchell Coomer. Jason Coomer was in the basement on the opposite side of the home from where the explosion occurred and was able to make it to safety sustaining minor injuries.
Official confirmation on the remains from the State Medical Examiner is not expected until sometime next week after DNA test results are received. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation.
