Several blasts Nov. 12 tore through a building storing explosives for movie prop guns in the center of an upscale neighborhood in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo.
Two people were confirmed killed and another seriously injured in the blasts and subsequent fire, police said.
Police identified the bodies of Kiyoko Yokoyama, 88, and her daughter-in-law, Yoko, 55. Shinichi Yokoyama, 60, Yoko's husband, sustained serious burns in a blast at around 12:30 p.m. while working in the three-story Aoyama district building.
Yokoyama was quoted as saying, "There was an explosion while I was mixing explosives at a work space on the first floor."
Police are investigating whether the blast was the result of the mishandling of the explosives. (Kyodo News)
