DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A second woman has died after a Springfield apartment building explosion earlier this month, officials confirmed.
39-year-old Madala Ducatel died April 15, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.
This comes less than a week after 50-year-old Edeline Ducatel also died. Both women were injured when an apartment building on East Home Road exploded April 8.
Investigators believe a gas line broke, causing gas to flow into the apartment, leading to the explosion.
An 11-month-old child was also hospitalized. There is no update on the child’s condition.
