UPDATE: 'It breaks your heart.' Married couple killed in massive house explosion

A massive explosion Saturday morning killed two people and obliterated their Newfield home, sending debris from the home hundreds of feet in all directions.

The cause of explosion was under investigation Saturday, but Bernie Weisenfeld, a spokesperson for the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office, said no foul play is suspected.

The names of the residents have not been released. A family friend told KYW-TV that they were a couple in their 70s and "good people."

The explosion happened around 6:15 a.m. in the 300 block of Oakwood Drive in Newfield, according to Lt. Matt DeCesari of the Franklin Township Police Department.

Bits of the house, including pink insulation was flung over several blocks, and could be seen hanging from power lines. Utility workers shut off gas lines to homes in the area at one point.

The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office, the Gloucester County Fire Marshal, and the Franklin Township Police Department, which patrols Newfield, and other agencies are continuing to investigate.

Neighbors posted on social media that the explosion shook nearby houses.
