Caleb Farley’s father was killed when his son’s house exploded. This article is over 2 months old. Overnight, the suburban Charlotte house of Cornerback burst. Farley, 24, of the Titans, was not at home at the time of the explosion.
Authorities say the father of Tennessee Titans cornerback Caleb Farley died overnight in an explosion that destroyed the NFL player’s home and injured another person.
According to Kent Greene, director of Iredell County Fire Services and Emergency Management, Robert M Farley, 61, was discovered dead in the debris of his Lake Norman, North Carolina, home on Tuesday morning.
First responders arrived at the house a few minutes after midnight on Tuesday and found Christian Rogers, 25, exiting the collapsed structure, Greene said. Rogers, a friend of the family, was taken to hospital with a concussion. He is “awake and alert”, Greene said but has not yet been discharged.
Greene said gas is likely to have accumulated over a long period of time and found its way to an ignition source, which caused the explosion. The blast, which local authorities have ruled accidental, originated in a bedroom and did not damage any surrounding homes.
