JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – State investigators say a Jacksonville family reported the smell of gas in their government-subsidized apartment four times leading up to a gas explosion in their unit in 2019. Seven people were sent to the hospital. Five were from the same family. The youngest victim was just two years old.
Danielle Ethridge, 30, sustained the worst injuries. Investigators reported burns on more than 80% of her body. Three of her children were hospitalized with burns on most of their bodies.
