A Somerset woman who took shelter from Friday's storms in a closet, died after becoming trapped when the door knob fell off!

The Lexington Herald Leader says 74-year old Helen Placke, who lived alone, was found in the closet at her home.

The coroner says she probably died sometime Sunday after spending hours in the closet without water or her heart medications.
