PLAINFIELD TWP., Mich. — A man was found dead after a home was leveled in an explosion Tuesday morning in Plainfield Township.

The home appeared to be completely destroyed, based the perspective of a FOX 17 crew on scene.
Crews had to wait for the debris to cool down before searching for anyone else who might have been left in the home. Cadaver dogs were on scene to assist with that search, said Undersheriff Bryan Muir.
