Indictment of Queen Gas Co over Barnwell lodge deaths
A Barnwell County grand jury indicted Queen Gas Co for improperly installing propane heaters at a hunting lodge where five youths died December. The case could carry a fine of 500 to 2000 dollars and possible LP Gas Division sanctions. Trial is delayed as attorney Jack Early handles a death penalty case. Investigators cited insufficient venting and carbon monoxide buildup as the cause. A wrongful death suit by William Allen Rimes's family seeks 3.5 million dollars.
