(Missourinet) - One person is still in critical condition after that deadly natural gas explosion at JJ's restaurant in Kansas City killed one and injured 15 others.

The Missouri Public Service Commission has five investigators on the scene combing the rubble trying to figure out what happened and why.

The commission chairman says his people will be in Kansas City for several weeks, and the final report may take up to three months to finish.

The dead woman is Megan Cramer who grew up in Springfield.

Her family says Cramer was working as a waitress at the restaurant.
