‘Gran Hermano’ Winner Esteban ‘Bam Bam’ Morais Loses Home in Blast-Triggered Fire

He blames utility pole work for a surge, saying the company pledged to assume responsibility.

Overview

  • An unexpected explosion tore through his Zona Norte residence, destroying the house and home office, with no injuries reported.
  • His three-year-old daughter escaped harm after a last-minute stroller outing kept her out of the room that burned.
  • Morais alleges utility crews replacing a pole cut the neutral, causing an overvoltage that ignited a television and set the home ablaze.
  • He says Edenor indicated it would assume responsibility for the damage, and he plans to proceed with legal counsel.
  • He reports total material losses and security concerns from a dislodged gate, while the cause he describes has not been independently verified.
