Bruce Spencer Dies in RV Propane Explosion | Bangor News

A tragic propane explosion inside a converted bus claimed the life of 59-year-old Bruce Spencer, who was the only person inside when the fire erupted just before 3 PM on Tuesday in Ellsworth. Investigators are still piecing together how the leak started—possibly near a propane range—and suspect a spark from a nearby refrigerator’s motor may have triggered the blast. Spencer suffered severe burns and died from his injuries on Thursday.
