Victim, 89, identified in fata! blast at home
Authorities have identified a Beacon man who was killed in an explosion at his home. Loyd Baker, 89, died in the explosion late Friday, Mahaska County Sheriff Charles Van Toorn said. He said there might have been a liquid propane leak inside the house.
The explosion was so powerful that it blew the windows out in neighboring homes.
The fire that followed melted the gas meter off a nearby home and peeled paint off the side of the house.
