The man who was inside a Tesla Cybertruck when it exploded outside Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel on New Year’s Day had New England ties.

The suspicious blast is being investigated as a possible terrorist attack, three senior law enforcement members briefed on the matter told NBC News.

At least seven people were injured, the authorities said. They said they believed it to be “an isolated incident,” but had not ruled out a connection to the attack in New Orleans.

A Tesla Cybertruck exploded and burned in front of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday morning, killing one person.

Donell Harvin said that suicide was "the highest cause of death among active-duty military members" as of last year.

The explosion was caused by fireworks and explosives in the bed of the rental Cybertruck, which had no faults, according to data.

The Las Vegas explosion bore some striking similarities to a deadly attack in New Orleans earlier the same morning, when a driver with a US military background plowed a rented pickup truck into a crowd celebrating New Year’s on Bourbon Street, killing 14 people. Both perpetrators used the company called Turo to rent their vehicles.
