Suicide attempt goes awry, levels house
Natural gas explosion hospitalizes homeowner



The home of Mark Morris, at 643 Pickens Avenue in Chillicothe was leveled after a natural gas explosion Monday morning as a result of an apparent suicide attempt. The neighbor's home, on the left, was also heavily damaged from the blast.

The blast is being investigated by the Chillicothe Police Department as a suicide attempt. According to a report, Morris told officers he turned on the natural gas to his house in an effort to kill himself. He did become concerned, however, someone other than himself would be harmed if the house exploded. But as he went to the basement to turn off the electric circuit breaker, the house exploded.

According to police reports, Morris also tried to kill himself Nov. 5 by carbon monoxide poisoning. He allegedly taped one end of a garden hose to his tailpipe and placed another in his passenger side window. However, after several hours the vehicle ran out of gas. He then tried to use a small propane tank, but that also ran out of gas.
