LOWELL, Ind. — Investigators say a propane tank leak caused a deadly house explosion in northwest Indiana.
The blast happened just after 7 p.m. Monday in Lowell.
When firefighters arrived on the scene they found one home leveled and a nearby house was engulfed in flames.
Debris was found scattered all over for about 100 yards.
Lake County officials say a 43-year-old neighbor who was watching the home died.
