Authorities in Missouri are working to determine the identity of a person who died in a massive house explosion caught on camera. 

A neighborhood near Kansas City was shaken on Saturday morning by a “powerful explosion” at a single-family home, resulting in the death of one person and a dog.

In the Gladstone suburb, the explosion severely damaged a nearby house, shattered car windows in the vicinity, and scattered debris across the street, according to Gladstone Fire Chief Mike Desautels, who spoke with Fox News Digital.

Desautels said an “unrecognizable” body was found at the scene. The identity of the deceased has not yet been released.

Desautels mentioned that the explosion’s shockwave was felt across several towns, with hundreds of reports from outside the city limits being filed following the event.

Footage from a neighbor’s Ring camera captured the moment debris from the horrific explosion slammed against their home and car. 

Nearby residents also saw a massive smoke plume emerge from the woods.

“We just went down to the scene and hugged a couple of family members down there,” nearby resident Glenn Hall told Fox News Digital.

A voicemail sent out by the city alerted residents about plans to demolish the remaining property, according to a screenshot shared by Hall. 

“This is an emergency message,” the voicemail said. “As soon as the scene is released by the authorities, the city of Gladstone will immediately begin demolition of the property as well as clean up the neighborhood.”

The area has been secured and is safe at this time.
