an dies of severe burns from L.A. blast ay 27, 2002 Posted: 7:33 AM EDT (1133 GMT)

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The man who told officials he disconnected a gas line and later lit a cigarette, causing an explosion at his apartment complex, died Sunday from his injuries.

Dennis Cohen, 47, had suffered burns to 60 percent of his body in the blast that damaged about a dozen apartments in a 140-unit complex Friday.

The investigation so far supports Cohen's account of how the explosion occurred, fire officials said Saturday.

There were no other serious injuries in the explosion.
