A man injured in a propane explosion last week died in the hospital over the weekend.
Eighty-year-old Earl Thelander had been hospitalized since last Tuesday when he was burned over 40 percent of his body.
He was venting a home that he owns in Onawa when propane fumes ignited.
It's believed the copper gas line was cut by thieves in search of scrap metal.
A funeral will be held Thursday for Thelander in his hometown at the First Christian Church.
