ARTICLE SNIPPET: "One man is dead following an explosion at a Tim Hortons restaurant in downtown Toronto.
The blast occurred in the washroom of the coffee shop located near the intersection of Yonge and Bloor Streets, just after 1 p.m.
Emergency crews responded to the scene and tried to help the victim. It is not known if he was a customer or an employee. No other injuries were reported.
Fire department spokesman Daryl Fuglerud said the man had burns to his body, but a fire did not break out in the building after the blast.
"There was a very small amount of smoke upon our arrival … It doesn't appear that we can see much of a fire at all," Fuglerud said.
Witnesses describe a scene of panic inside the restaurant after the explosion.
"A lot of people screaming and screaming," one young woman said.
"As soon as we heard (the) bang, everybody run away," witness George Ribera said.
Police cordoned off approximately one city block and evacuated the area as a precaution.
"We're taking all precautions for members of the public as you can imagine," Toronto Police officer Nick Memme said."
OK, I'm heading over to that thread for updates and to update it if possible.
