Man dies in suspicious Beenleigh explosion One man is dead and another is battling severe burns in hospital after a unit explosion in Beenleigh overnight Friday. The explosion was caused by a gas bottle that police believe was deliberately lit. Injured residents and terrified neighbors spilled out onto the road after the blast ripped through the unit on George St about 9.15pm. Emergency services rushed to the horrific scene but a 52-year-old man there could not be saved. Police Inspector Geoff Palmer said the man, who initially helped to evacuate residents from the complex, was overcome by events and suffered a massive heart attack. Insp. Palmer told the ABC that the man who died lived in a separate part of the complex. Meanwhile, a 47-year-old man, believed to be the occupant of the unit, was rushed to the Royal Brisbane Hospital in a critical condition, suffering burns to most of his body. Fire investigators and crime scene officers were on site last night and this morning.
