A house explodes during a birthday party in Vermont, killing two people, including a mother and her son, and injuring three others. Reports name the victims as Sarah O’Sullivan and her son, Liam O’Sullivan, following the blast.

Emergency response teams attend the scene after the sudden explosion. The injuries are described as affecting three other people, though outlets provide limited additional detail on the severity or the circumstances immediately before the blast. Coverage focuses on the deadly outcome of the party and the fact the explosion occurs while guests are present.

Across the two reports provided, the central facts are consistent: the location is Vermont, the incident occurs during a birthday celebration at a home, two people die, and three others are injured. Both outlets also report the same names for the deceased.
