He had a 12K sq ft house and he only lived in 2 rooms - the kitchen and the living room. Kept all the blinds shut. One night, the entire house exploded and burned to the ground. For some reason, he was storing AVIATION FUEL in his basement!

They interviewed him on TV and he looked like some bum off the streets. Last I heard the Red Cross was helping him out ;) I'm sure he's passed away now - have no idea who he left it all to, all his family was dead.
Aviation fuel is kerosene. It's flammable, but not explosive.
