The Indiana State Fire Marshal has ruled that the cause of the August 10th house explosion on Weinbach Avenue was accidental. Following a joint investigation with the Evansville Fire Department, investigators say they discovered a leaking gas line in the basement of the home. According to a release, investigators say the line was found uncapped, with the valve in the open position. They say meter data taken after the incident showed a sharp increase in gas usage beginning two days before the blast. No additional evidence was found to determine how the valve was opened; however, there is no indication of foul play.
