Man in Intensive Care After Duplex Explosion
A man who was inside a Lewisville duplex when it exploded is in intensive care.
The man caught in the natural gas explosion of a Lewisville duplex died from his injuries on Sunday.
Ron Batts of the Christian Community Actions, which owns the building, told NBC DFW that Scott Deahl, 55, died on Sunday.
Monday morning, Batts plans to talk about the explosion and Deahl. He is survived by a 12-year-old daughter and two sisters.
The Deahl family was one of ten displaced by the blast. Late Saturday, Atmos Energy said its workers finished repairing a ruptured gas line. Natural gas service has been restored.
The complex in the 500 block of East Main Street is now fenced off. Christian Community Actions is working to find tenants new long-term housing.
On Friday, a duplex on Main Street exploded at 12:30 p.m., while crews were working to repair a gas leak. Investigators said construction workers mistakenly cut a 4-inch gas line in the area just a few hours earlier.
Among those who got way close to the explosion, Christy Rooney, whose mother and sister lived at the house, run by Christian Community Actions, a group that helps people with nowhere else to go.
"I'm just thankful my mom wasn't there," said Rooney. "My sister wasn't there. So I still have my people."
The agency said ten families lived in the home. They are all being put up in hotels right now and being offered trauma counseling. An effort is underway to find them longer-term housing.
Rooney got permission to go where few others could Saturday... past a road block and into the rubble to salvage what little was salvageable. In a rolling trash can she brought back treasures.
She spread family photos across the back of her van and a small, ceramic, decorative dish with the image of Jesus on it.
"It was one of the first things I found when I came up on the scene," said Rooney. "It's a reminder he's always there in the midst of a disaster and it was just good for me to see his face."
Rooney said her family is having a tough time with losing that home. They likely lost a cat in the explosion.
