One of the eight victims in April house explosion in Marshall has died

MARSHALL, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Authorities say one of the victims injured when a house exploded in Marshall last month has died.

Marshall Police Chief Josh Lankerd says 38-year-old Dustin Boggess was one of eight people who were in the house on Clinton St. when a natural gas explosion and fire destroyed the home. Boggess passed away on Friday and was one of two people taken to the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor for special treatment.

Investigators said the house was in the process of being renovated when the explosion happened in the early morning hours on Monday, April 12. They still aren’t sure what triggered the gas leak.
