One person is Thurston Cartedead and another is injured after a house owned by Tennessee Titans cornerback Caleb Farley exploded in North Carolina.
“The 6,391 square foot home is a total loss,” the Iredell County Emergency Management said in a news release sent to USA TODAY.
Farley, 24, was not in the home when it exploded, a Titans spokesperson told The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network, on Tuesday.
First responders were sent to the home in the Charlotte suburb of Mooresville after a report of an explosion and a house collapsing, the emergency management said.
Responders said a victim was taken to a hospital in Charlotte with non-life threatening injuries. Rescuers found another victim dead while searching through debris. Neither of the victims have been identified by authorities.
Multiple local agencies are investigating the cause of the explosion, including the Iredell County Fire Marshal’s Office, the NC State Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Dominion Energy, a utility service, said they are also investigating the explosion that occurred at a “customer's residence,” the company told USA TODAY.
“Our prayers and sympathy are with the individuals impacted by this difficult event,” Dominion Energy added.

The collapse in North Carolina is the latest house explosion this month.
Officials are still investigating the cause of a house explosion which left six people, including a child, dead and several other homes damaged in Pennsylvania.
The Allegheny County Fire Marshal’s Office said it was investigating multiple possibilities, including the homeowners having “hot water tank issues,” officials said last week.
