Authorities say a propane gas leak sparked an explosion that sent the roof of the home and other debris flying into the street. Some nearby homes were also damaged.
The explosion then caused a massive fire.
The victim's name has not yet been released. No other injuries were reported.
Residents in the neighborhood say they felt their doors and windows rattle.
