Aged Woman Died of Suffocation in Mystery Fire Here
Mrs. J. W. May, about 75, died as a result of suffocation Wednesday, and her husband about 70, was in a serious condition at Benedictine Heights Hospital after a mysterious fire in their home at 506 West Logan.
Firemen, who extinguished the blaze, were at a loss to determine how it started, but unofficial reports were that a gas stove explosion caused it.
Mrs. May was discovered on the floor near the stove, which was in the living room, and her husband lay slumped against the front door.
Fire Chief Ed Nelson said that evidently May was trying to get out of the house when he too was overcome by fumes.
May, who was rushed to the hospital in a David Funeral Home ambulance, was in no condition to answer questions.
Firemen were summoned by neighbors after a dense cloud of smoke was discovered rolling from the house, at about 2 p.m.
Damage to the house was estimated at several hundred dollars.
