Natural Gas Leak Caused Explosion That Killed Titans’ Player Caleb Farley’s Dad, Investigators Say

Officials determined that a natural gas leak led to the explosion that killed Robert Farley, 61, the son of NFL cornerback Caleb Farley

Farley was living in a house in Mooresville, North Carolina, valued at $2 million. According to the authorities, there was a strong smell of natural gas when they arrived at the property. The house was completely destroyed by the blast, with the garage only remaining. The investigation was halted due to the remaining structure’s instability but will be continued by Farley’s insurance provider.

In addition to Robert, there was another man in the house. He survived and was taken to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. 

According to the Iredell County Fire and Services director Kent Greene, the precise location of the explosion remains unknown. Greene believes that the gas was building and made contact with an ignition source.

Caleb was in Nashville during the explosion, where a neighbor notified him of the incident. A native of Maiden, a town near Mooresville, he purchased the property last year for his father. His mother died in 2019 from breast cancer.

The coach of the Titans, Mike Vrabel, along with several of Caleb’s teammates, have offered their support to the cornerback. During a press conference, Vrabel said the Titans’ organization “must do everything that they can to be there for him [and] to support him.”

“Just praying for Caleb. We were probably the last ones in the locker room last night just hanging around. We just found out the news. My prayers go out to him and his family,” running back Derrick Henry told reporters.

“It’s just very tragic,” Titans safety Kevin Byard said. “As a team and as a brother, all we can do and all I can do is try to be there for him. It’s going to be tough. It’s an unimaginable tragedy.”
