A 24-year-old Clinton woman died Sunday from burns she suffered in a house fire May 4. Debra A. Boutwell, 24, of 436 9th Ave. S., died Sunday in University Hospitals, Iowa City. She was transferred to Iowa City after she sustained third-degree burns over 60 percent of her body in a fire in her home. The woman was sleeping in an upstairs bedroom of the two-story frame home when sparks from a downstairs fireplace apparently ignited nearby cardboard boxes. The woman awoke and ran down the fiery stairs to the porch where she sat and awaited an ambulance.
