One person is dead and another injured after a massive explosion at a home in North Carolina that belongs to Tennessee Titans defensive back Caleb Farley, according to TMZ.
Multiple reports state Farley just recently purchased the home, and overnight Monday, the multi-million dollar property in Mooresville was leveled.
Kent Greene, who is a spokesperson for the Iredell County Fire Marshal’s Office, told TMZ Sports that one person who was recovered from the scene died, while another was sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Farley was not a victim, according to Greene.
Greene also told TMZ that an investigation is currently ongoing, with the centerpiece of the probe being the house’s natural gas lines.
The 24-year-old Titans cornerback was spotted at the site Tuesday cooperating with police, according to local news outlets.

Dealing with a back injury, Farley is currently placed on the physically unable-to-perform list.
He was drafted in the 2021 NFL Draft with the No. 22 overall pick, however, he hasn’t seen much action on the field since then — playing in only 12 games.
