Two Confirmed Dead in Baltimore Natural Gas Explosion

The death toll from the Baltimore natural gas explosion on Monday has now risen to two. Just before 1 a.m. yesterday, search and rescue crews recovered a body from the debris. He has already been identified as 20-year-old Joseph Graham who was a “rising sophomore” at Morgan State University. After attending a party, Graham decided to spend the night with his family in one of the three row houses that were destroyed during the blast. His family members are among the survivors currently hospitalized. The identity of the second deceased female victim has not yet been revealed. Seven others remain hospitalized with at least five in critical condition. Their ages and identifies have not been released either, although it’s been suggested some of them may be children. Fortunately, firefighters now believe everyone has been accounted for. Around 250 people have been displaced as a result of this incident.
