The final victim of the recent gas explosion at Dansoman here in Accra has died. It brings to two, the number of people killed in last week's Easter Monday accident.

The filling station itself has since been closed down and an investigative team set up by the Environmental Protection Agency to find out how the accident happened and how future incidents can be prevented.

The eight-member committee has been given ten days to complete its work and submit its findings.

The owner of the Havets Gas Filling station confirmed to JoyNews the second victim succumbed to his injuries last Friday at the Korle bu Teaching hospital where he had been on admission since the accident on the sixth of April.

The other victim passed on a day after the Easter Monday explosion. On that very day, the Environmental Protection Agency also ordered the closure of the filling station, after it had ignored residents' pleas for years.

William K. Hayfron, Chief Programme Officer at the EPA, would however not say if the filling station will get the chance to operate again from that location.

The committee has already begun questioning the owner and workers of the Havets filling station.

The accident and the death of the two, though unfortunate presents the Environmental Protection Agency with a perfect reason to exert its authority and shut down other stations also springing up in questionable locations.

The committee investigating the explosionis made up of representatives from the EPA, Ghana National Fire Service, Factories inspectorates, Town and country planning and National Petroleum Authority.
