All five victims in the house explosion in Plum have been identified.
The Trib reports that Casey Clontz and his son Keegan, were both identified by their family, as was Kevin Sebunia. Plum Borough Manager Michael Thomas and Community Development Director Heather Oravitz were also killed in the explosion, according to Mayor Harry Schlegel. The Allegheny County Fire Marshal’s office is continuing to investigate the cause of the explosion.
In a statement issued Monday night, the office confirmed it is aware that the homeowners at 141 Rustic Ridge, the Oravitz home, were having issues with their hot water tank, located in the basement, but the exact cause of the explosion remains unknown. Allegheny County officials say non-residents who have no reason to be at the explosion site continue to travel there.
If you have no reason to be at the site, you are asked to please stay away from the area.
