HOLIDAY (AP) – Authorities say an electrical short in the wall sparked the weekend explosion and fire at a Tampa-area fireworks store that killed the 38-year-old owner.

The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office on Monday identified Angelo Carbone as the man who died when Liberty Fireworks in Holiday went up in flames Saturday. His body was found inside the store.

Investigators do not suspect foul play.

Holiday is northwest of Tampa.
