CHICAGO (CBS) -- The man killed in an Oak Park explosion was 64-year-old David Rechs.

It happened at an apartment complex.

The blast was so big it left a gaping hole in the building, leaving 12 people to find a new place to live.

It's still not clear what caused the explosion.

So far, no word on any memorial plans for the man who died.
