A Baton Rouge Man has died from injuries he sustained when his trailer exploded after he lit a cigarette. The explosion took place in the 2200 block of Park Circle around 2 a.m. on Sunday.
Jason McNemar, 44, had been living in the trailer while making repairs to his flood-damaged home. He told neighbors, who rushed to his aid when they heard the blast, that he was trying to light a cigarette when the explosion occurred. McNemar suffered severe burns and was transported by ambulance to a local hospital where he died Monday from his injuries.
The explosion and subsequent fire completely destroyed the trailer and damaged adjacent homes. Fire officials have not yet determined the cause of the explosion, but they suspect a propane leak.
