A boiler is thought to be responsible for a blast that has killed a 28-year-old man, and injured two others inside a house in Drogheda, Co. Louth overnight.
The blast happened at The Cottages in the Beaulieu area, on the Termonfeckin Road, just after midnight.
The two injured, a man in his 50s, and a woman in her 20s, sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries in the incident, and are being treated in hospital.
