Spahlinger’s sister was at home with him when the explosion occurred and after hearing a loud noise, discovered her brother in a room gasping for air. She immediately dialed 911. “She went towards the explosion to find him completely covered in black, what appeared to be soot, throwing up, foaming from the mouth,” their mother, Alissa Stefanacci, said.
