Fatal Fire in Washington DC May Have Been Caused by an Oxygen Tank

Last week, a man died in a fire in Washington D.C. After an investigation, it has been determined that an oxygen tank may have been the reason for the fatal accident.

On Thursday October 18, 2012, a fire had begun at the house of sixty five year old George Michael III. The fire started at around 3:30am on the second floor of Michael’s house. Michael was immediately taken to the hospital where he later died of a heart attack.

 

At first, investigators hadn’t known what caused the fire, but after further investigation, it has been determined that an oxygen tank may have been the cause. However, they have ruled out the possibility that the oxygen tank may have malfunctioned.
