A social worker has confirmed that a Cameroonian national, identified as N.B., is the second person to lose his life following the tragic gas cylinder explosion at a car showroom in Dubai’s Al Quoz district. The victim’s family had been searching for answers since the incident occurred on Monday, expressing deep distress over their inability to reach him. N.B., who worked part-time in the industrial area, is the second fatality reported, following the earlier identification of a 27-year-old Indian expatriate who had been employed as a marketing specialist at the dealership.

In the wake of the tragedy, the "Car Superstore" has remained closed for four consecutive days, expressing that their primary focus is currently on supporting the families of those impacted by the blast. While authorities continue to investigate the cause of the explosion—which witnesses described as a sudden and violent event involving staff attempting to fight an initial fire—the showroom has stated they will remain shuttered until further notice. Dubai Civil Defense successfully brought the blaze under control within an hour of the report, but the community remains shaken as they await further updates from officials and the company management.
