WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Ill. — A home explosion in Williamson County has left one person dead, according to a report from AOL.com. Details on the location, the victim, and the cause remain scarce as authorities continue to work the scene.
This county has buried people under rubble before — the coal camps saw to that — and every time it happens folks want answers fast. Right now there aren't many to give. No cause has been confirmed, and no name has been released.
The American Times Press will update this story as county officials and first responders release more information. For now, a family in Williamson County is grieving, and a community is waiting to find out why.
