The explosion in Washington township sounded like a bomb.

Officials found the bodies of two people in the ruins of a house that were organized by an explosion on May 11th in southern New Jersey, in which the neighbors wake up and triggered a criminal investigation.

The police in Washington township, about 50 miles northwest of Atlantic City, reacted to several calls that reported “a loud explosion” around 2 a.m.

When they arrived, it found a house that was completely devoured in flames and was badly damaged by an obvious explosion. Firefighters responded and exhibited the fire before the authorities removed two corpses from the houses, said officials.

The authorities hired a criminal investigation into the explosion because they believe that it was not accidental, CBS News reported, in which the public prosecutor's office of the Gloucester County district quoted.

The names of the two people who were found dead in the wreck of the house have not yet been published.

Neighbors, some who live blocks, remember being awake of the great explosion.

“It was a really loud boom. It was loud. I said something was wrong,” the neighbor Jimmy Gibson told ABC6. “The whole house was already on fire, so quickly as soon as the explosion took place. I called 911 when I went out of the house.”

Another neighbor, Suzanne Pinto, said to The Outlet: “It was huge, huge, sounds like a bomb was going.”
