A 57 year old man attempted to commit suicide while his wife was at work.

He turned on the propane tank and waited to die from gas poisoning. Unfortunately, all he succeeded in doing was filling his entire apartment with propane gas.

Something sparked the gas and the entire apartment unit exploded, starting a fire in the building. The fire burned all the apartment units up to the 6th floor. Firefighters have not yet determined what sparked the gas and the explosion, but they were able to rescue the 57 year old man from his apartment.

Some residents were injured in the fire but no one was killed.

The man was rushed to hospital with burns over 80% of his body, he has yet to regain consciousness.
