Arkansas Family Identified In Michigan House Explosion Killing Four

Four people from an Arkansas family were publicly identified yesterday (Tuesday) as the victims of a fatal house explosion, west of Detroit. A story we reported on previously.

The deceased were identified as Hope Bragg, 51, husband Don Bragg, 53, and their children, Kenneth Bragg, 22, and Elizabeth Bragg, 19, all from Monticello, Arkansas.

Authorities said the explosion Saturday was likely caused by flammable fuel in the air and not a result of foul play.

The explosion happened at the home of Hope Bragg’s father, Richard Pruden, 72, who remained in critical condition. Stephen Bragg, 16, was in stable condition.
