While the Auror Department has not issued a formal statement on the ground, reporting has confirmed the name of the deceased as ELLE SPINNET; she and longtime partner TRENTON BAMBAR were caught mid-heist right before the explosion took place. The exact cause of the explosion is currently unknown.
It appears as though Spinnet and Bambar are renowned art thieves who have struck a number of locations all over the world and Europe.
Rumour on the ground is that Spinnet's own sister, Puddlemere United Chaser ALICIA SPINNET, is the reason the two were discovered as art thieves. An eye witness says they saw the elder Spinnet blame the chaser right before passing away.
This story is still developing.
OOC NOTE - When this news is released DMLE staff will be on the way to inform all Spinnet family members of the situation.
