A newly installed furnace is suspected to be the cause of a deadly explosion in a residential Kansas home. Investigators say that the furnace was installed just days before it exploded and killed a woman.
The 53 year-old homeowner along with her 23 year-old daughter and her friend are still in the hospital. The mother is in critical condition and her daughter and friend are said to be in stable condition. Emergency responders say the explosion leveled the house and threw debris more than a hundred feet away.
The Reno County Sheriff’s Department believes a propane tank leaking gas is what ignited the furnance.
Our deepest sympathies are with the family and friends of the woman who was killed in this tragic accident.
