The aftermath of an explosion in Frankfort that killed an elderly couple. |
An elderly couple died early Saturday in an explosion that destroyed their Frankfort home and scattered debris across two blocks.
The 5:30 a.m. blast was felt several miles away.
Natural gas may have built up inside the house, Frankfort Police Chief Rob Piscia said. Police and fire officials, the state fire marshal's office and local utility companies were investigating.
