Not sure what happened but it did say that the guy that died was a double lung transplant patient so he probably had a few oxygen tanks lying around. May not of been the cause but I bet it didn't help. RIP and what a terrible way for anyone to go.

It does sound logical, with the fire first then an explosion, think it is leaning towards the oxygen.
