A fatal explosion in east Vancouver in late October has claimed a second victim.

Twenty-one-year-old Andrew Gawley was severely burned in the deliberately set blast that killed 26-year-old Lana Christophersen.

Christophersen, an Alberta resident, had recently moved into the apartment in the 3400-block of Crawley St. after answering an online ad from Gawley.

Christophersen's former boyfriend, 34-year-old Jamie Michael Cliff, was charged with second degree murder and attempted murder several days after the October 25th blast.
