(KAIR)--The elderly Netawaka woman, badly burned Friday and airlifted for hospitalized treatment, has died.

According to Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, 75-year-old Catherine Duncan was pronounced dead shortly before 9:30 Friday night in the burn unit at the University of Kansas Hospital, in Kansas City, Kansas.

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office responded to Duncan's emergency phone call, made Friday morning around 7:45 at her 622 Commercial Street residence.

She had apparently caught fire when open flames on a cooking stove ignited her clothing.

The stove was being used to heat her Netawaka residence, which incurred no damage.

The Netawaka and Whiting Fire Departments, along with Jackson County EMS and the Sheriff's Office, all responded to the scene.
