Explosion Autopsy Results



Preliminary autopsy results say a man whose body was found in the rubble of a Corpus Christi house leveled by an explosion died of soot inhalation and severe burns.
Jamie Flanagan was among three people whose bodies were found in the rubble after the blast on June 18.
Dr. Ray Fernandez, the Nueces County medical examiner, said
14-year-old Nostalgia Baker was killed by the blast and also had head trauma, the Corpus Christi Caller-Times reported.
Whether the trauma happened shortly before or shortly after the time of her death could not be determined.
Authorities had earlier said 55-year-old Deletha Baker was stabbed to death.
