A fatal house explosion was caused by a gas leak, according to South Jordan firefighters

SOUTH JORDAN – A natural gas leak caused Wednesday's house explosion that killed a Bingham High School student, investigators say.

Ryan Lessner, a spokesman for the South Jordan Fire Department, said the source of the gas leak was under investigation. Investigators are still determining what exactly caused the explosion at the South Jordan home.

“Additional investigators will be on site throughout the weekend and hope to have more information available by early next week,” Lessner said in a written statement.

The explosion at 10500 S. 3200 West late Wednesday evening killed a 15-year-old whose body lay in the rubble.
