Husband killed and wife injured after home explodes in Michigan

Man dead, woman critically injured after home explosion in attempted murder-suicide

A man died and a woman was critically injured after a home exploded in Plainfield Township, Michigan, in what Kent County authorities believe was a deliberate murder-suicide attempt, with the husband allegedly releasing natural gas in the basement to ignite the fire. Two neighbors pulled the woman from the blaze before responders arrived; the sheriff's office credits their intervention as the direct reason she survived.
