Divers are searching for the owner of a boat that exploded at a marina in western Kentucky over the weekend.
State officials say 58-year-old Alan Donais had just refueled his boat at Green Turtle Bay Marina Saturday morning when witnesses heard a loud explosion and saw the boat on fire.
The marina is near Grand Rivers, Ky.
A passenger, 54-year-old Jan Crowell of New Johnsonville, Tenn., escaped by jumping from the boat.
Crowell was being treated for burns at Vanderbilt Medical Center, where she was in stable condition.
A statement from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources says divers searched through the weekend for Donais' body.
The blast also caused a towboat to catch fire.
Two people on the boat managed to escape without injuries.
