One of the two victims in Friday evening’s house explosion in rural Wabash County has passed away. Sheriff Derek Morgan confirms that 66 year old Kevin Murphy died at a Louisville hospital after being airlifted there following the 5:39pm explosion. Murphy’s wife, Sue, was also airlifted to a Louisville hospital where she’s reported to be in ICU in stable condition. Morgan said a group of neighbors pulled one victim from the residence before the residence was completely engulfed in flames. Investigators with the Illinois State Fire Marshal’s office arrived on the scene last night and are continuing to investigate today.
