Volgens inligting het die brand ontstaan as gevolg van ’n verwarmer wat aan die brand geslaan het. Inligting is dat mnr. Willie Jordaan, pa van die sanger, “met net die klere aan sy lyf” weggestap het.

Van Theuns se memoribilia, wat sy pa in ’n kamer gehou het, is alles verbrand, word verneem.

Theuns se suster wou nie kommentaar lewer nie.

Suzette Esterhuizen, wat al voorheen as woordvoerder vir Jordaan opgetree het, het by navraag gesê, dat sy eers met hom daaroor sal praat, voordat sy kan terugvoer gee.

Daar word sedert vanoggend gewag op haar terugvoer.

Theuns het in Desember 2020 aangekondig dat hy met leukemia gediagnoseer is.

Hy het intussen ’n stamseloorplanting ondergaan en is volgens die laaste Facebookplasing op sy blad, op 5 Mei, reeds vyf weke uit die hospitaal ontslaan, om verder by die huis aan te sterk.
