Lexington, KY –  Exposure to gases from a gas leak at an apartment early Monday morning, July 7, 2025, is being investigated as a potential cause of death after a man was tragically lost.

As reported by WTVQ.com, “[a] carbon monoxide and natural gas leak at an apartment complex off Versailles Road early Friday morning has left one man dead and 11 others hospitalized…The leak happened at [apartments] on Oxford Circle just before 5 a.m. Fire crews evacuated all 32 apartments after detecting dangerously high levels of carbon monoxide and natural gas inside the building.”

WKYT.com is reporting, “an adult male was killed. Fayette County Coroner…says they believe the man died of carbon monoxide poisoning.”

Lex18.com reports that “[a]ccording to the corner’s office, the man was identified as 62-year-old Samuel Gross.”

The investigation is ongoing.

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

As authorities continue their investigation, premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of life safety measures at the complex may have contributed to this incident.

The following list of questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

  • What life safety measures, such as working detectors, emergency exits, and a resident warning plan, were in place and operational at the time of the incident?
  • When was the last inspection performed on the property?
  • Were any life safety measures added after any previous inspections?
  • Was the property owner aware of any inadequate life safety measures present prior to this incident?
  • After learning of any prior warnings, did the property owner take measures to properly notify and warn existing residents?

As details of this suspected gas leak continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the apartment owner failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those residents and guests legally on the premises. Under certain State law, the owner and management company of an apartment complex have a duty to protect those on the property and to keep the premises safe. If the owner or manager fails in this duty, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths that occur as a consequence.  Should the apartment complex be found at fault, the family of Samuel Gross may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their loss and suffering. In addition, any injured victims may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their injuries and suffering.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the family of Samuel Gross and any injured victims retain an experienced premises liability firm as soon as possible to ensure all evidence, such as a faulty fire alarm or a poor evacuation plan, is preserved and the families best interests are protected. The Murray Law Firm has extensive experience in premises liability and apartment negligence cases, such as this, and we offer our legal expertise, if needed.

Washington, MO NEWS – An apartment fire Sunday afternoon, January 19, 2025, tragically claimed one life.

As reported by KSDK.com, “dispatchers received a 911 call from a woman reporting her apartment on fire at about 3:04 a.m. Monday…The first officer arrived at the scene at about 3:05 a.m. Monday at the apartments at 320 Jefferson St.”

According to the report, “[t]he Washington Fire Department arrived at the scene at about 3:11 a.m. and began a rescue operation. Firefighters located the two women inside the apartment, but both [were unable to survive the incident].”

EMissourian.com is reporting, “Sharon Pepmueller, 72, and her daughter, Amber Pepmueller, 42, were [the victims of the fire]. Sitzes said the women lived together in a second-floor apartment. They were the only two occupants of the building during the fire.”

The news report states, “the apartment the women lived in did have working smoke alarms, but initial findings on the scene indicated doors left open may have allowed large amounts of smoke to enter the apartment.  ‘There was a lot of fuel in the back of that building, with trash cans. So we think it started on the outside and worked its way in.'”

Pittsburgh, PA NEWS – An apartment fire Friday night, December 27, 2024, tragically claimed one life.

TribLive.com is reporting, “Praise Lemons was identified as the victim….”

The news report also states “[Praise’s] mother and 6-year-old sister were transported to separate hospitals Friday, including Children’s, and where the girl was reported to be in stable condition Saturday afternoon, after suffering smoke inhalation and burns.”

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

As authorities continue their investigation, premises liability attorneys with The Murray Law Firm question whether a lack of security or fire safety measures at the complex may have contributed to this incident.

  • What fire safety measures, such as working smoke detectors, fire sprinklers and emergency exits, were in place and working at the time of the fire?
  • When was the last fire inspection performed on the property?
  • Were any safety measures added after any previous inspections?
  • Was the property owner aware of any inadequate fire safety measures present prior to the fire?

As details of this fire continue to emerge, The Murray Law Firm suggests that it is possible that the apartment complex failed to undertake proper safety measures to protect those residents and guests legally on the premises. Under certain State law, the owner and management company of an apartment complex have a duty to protect residents and to keep the premises safe. If the owner or manager fails in this duty, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries or wrongful deaths that occur as a consequence.  Should the apartment complex be found at fault, the family of Praise Lemons may elect to hold the owner and management company civilly liable for their loss and suffering.

As insurance companies and unscrupulous property owners are often concerned with limiting their financial exposure in these incidents, it is crucial that the family of Praise Lemons retain an experienced premises liability firm as soon as possible to ensure all evidence, such as a faulty fire alarm or a poor evacuation plan, is preserved and the family’s best interests are protected. The Murray Law Firm has extensive experience in premises liability and apartment negligence cases, such as this, and we offer our legal expertise, if needed.
