2021 Gothenburg explosion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the early morning of 28 September 2021, an explosion took place in an apartment building containing 140 apartments, in Annedal, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Twenty-five people were taken to hospital, four of them with serious injuries.[1][2] One person died of her injuries, two weeks after the explosion.[3]

A man in his 50s, who lived in the building, was suspected of having caused the explosion, and he was remanded in his absence. On 6 October, he was found dead in the Göta älv river.[4] The suspect lived in the apartment complex and was involved in an eviction case.[5]
