Blair Death Still Probed
Authorities are still investigating the Sunday death, apparently from carbon monoxide, of a Blair woman.
Blair Police Chief Walter Groves said Tuesday afternoon that it would probably be Thursday before his office issued a further statement in the death of Jane M. Eppley, 34.
Groves said Mrs. Eppley was in a car in the family garage when she was found by her husband, Donald, about 8 a.m. Sunday. He said the garage was closed, the ignition key in the "on" position but the car was not running.
Two Eppley children, sleeping in a bedroom located to one side of the garage and slightly above it, were taken to a hospital by the Blair rescue squad where they were treated for apparent carbon monoxide sickness and released, Groves said.
Acting Douglas County Coroner James Keenan said an autopsy done in Omaha indicated Mrs. Eppley "apparently died of carbon monoxide." Keenan said autopsies for Washington County are done in Omaha regularly.
Services for Mrs. Eppley will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at All Saints Episcopal Church, 92nd and Martha streets in Omaha.
Other survivors include her mother, Darleen Sackett of Omaha.
