🇺🇲 Police have launched an investigation after #SC Judge Diane Goodstein's Edisto Beach home burned to the ground after an 'apparent explosion.'

"Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren," said South Carolina Chief Justice John Kittredge.

The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony.

"At this time, we do not know whether the fire was accidental or arson." said SLED chief Mark Keel.
