Criminal investigation - the police might have in mind Gross Negligence
Manslaughter, for example.

Seeing as how the people who lived in the house are still in a critical
condition, there may never be any prosecution. And, what would it
achieve anyway?

Bearing in mind that the explosion was at 2AM, the most likely scenario
is a very small nick in the pipe that let gas accumulate once everyone
had gone to bed. I take my hat off to anyone able to work out the cause
of the explosion in that wreckage.
