Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple has released more information on a house explosion in Berne that left two people dead.

Apple says propane was likely a factor in the Hilltop Lane blast that killed 83-year-old Victor Porlier and his wife, 72-year-old Lois Porlier last Friday. The explosion was so massive that it was both heard and felt from several miles away. Apple says there may have been other factors involved in the tragedy and that the investigation continues.
