CEDAR HILL, Tenn. (AP) - Law enforcement officials say a Robertson County home exploded after a woman attempted to light a water heater.
According to the Robertson County Sherriff’s office, the explosion occurred Friday after 34-year-old Brittany Elliott turned on the gas in her Cedar Hill home and then went to light the water heater.
Elliott told police she does not have a sense of smell and so she was unable to smell a gas leak.
