Police said they believed Mrs. Graves had become dizzy after turning on the jets and had sat down. A pot on the stove indicated she had intended to heat some coffee.
Dr. Joe Kingston, the deputy coroner, said he believed the woman had been dead about three hours when he was called. Occupants of an apartment in the same building said they could smell the odor of gas as early as 3 o'clock.
Mrs. Graves had been visiting with her daughter since last week and had intended to return to Huron soon, Mrs. Roe said.
Mrs. Graves was the mother of Miss Lulu Graves of Huron and of Mrs. William Knutz, who resides on a farm south of Huron. Miss Graves left last night for Sioux City.
