Man in Twelve Mile house explosion dies

A Twelve Mile man who was badly burned in a house explosion last month in Cass County has died from his injuries at Fort Wayne's Lutheran Hospital. 

 

The Allen County Coroner confirmed Paul Ulerick, 62, had died shortly before 11 pm Monday from multi-system organ failure due to thermal burns from the explosion.

 

Ulerick was the owner of the popular Logansport restaurant Amelio's On The River. 

 

Logansport Mayor Chris Martin made a statement on his Facebook post about Ulerick and the impact he made on the Logansport community. 

"Paul was a towering figure in our community, heavily involved in local politics, at one point serving as the Chairman of the local Democratic Party.  Although we are of opposing parties, Paul's commitment to service and love for Logansport was never in doubt, and he will be deeply missed by so many who loved and admired him." 

 

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security said the Twelve Mile house explosion is still under investigation.
