The cause of the explosion appears to be an accidental gas leak, Paris prosecutor Remy Heitz said, but an investigation was opened to determine the exact cause of the explosion. He noted that firefighters were already at the scene to check on the gas leak at the bakery before the explosion occurred. An employee of a hotel opposite the bakery said he saw the firefighters entering the bakery about an hour before the blast.
