Man accused of blowing up own home: sane or not?

The North Buffalo man accused of blowing up his own home in a botched suicide attempt has been deemed competent to stand trial.

On Monday, 73-year-old Santo Cok waived his right to a felony hearing.

Cok is facing arson, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief charges over April's explosion on Covington Road.

In May, a judge ordered he undergo a mental health examination before the case cold move forward. 

Investigators say he disconnected a gas line and lit and candle to try and commit suicide.

The explosion destroyed Cok's home and seriously damaged two neighboring houses. No one was hurt.
