Investigators ruled the death of 40-year-old Brad Kollar a suicide resulting from blunt force trauma after the blast shortly before 9 a.m.
His body was discovered strapped with bombs and inside his truck that was parked outside a home near Patton, about 70 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Apparently, Kollar was after the home’s owner, 44-year-old William Shaner, who was inside the building at the time of the blast and was taken to an area hospital and later flown to a larger General Hospital in Pittsburgh. He was listed in critical condition.
Police are still combing through what remains of a house that exploded in Clearfield Township, Pennsylvania.
