Kevin Zichelli, 33, of Severna Park, Dies From Injuries Sustained in Storage Container Explosion

Kevin Patrick Zichelli, a 33 year old man from Severna Park, died nearly two weeks after sustaining injuries in a storage container explosion. 

According to an obituary, Mr. Zichelli died peacefully on May 19, 2022, at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore. 

The Anne Arundel County Fire department said that on the morning of May 4, 2022, firefighters responded to the commercial property on Jabez Run in Millersville for a reported explosion. 

First arriving firefighters reported the contents of a storage container on fire, and were able to quickly extinguish it, officials said.  Investigators responded and determined the cause to be accidental, according to a fire department press release. "A leaking propane tank inside the storage unit caused an explosion when a piece of heavy equipment was started inside the unit, immediately after opening the container doors," the release said.  

Mr. Zichelli's obituary included the following information:
