A 28-year-old woman and a horse are dead after a hyperbaric chamber exploded at an equine-therapy center in Marion County on Friday morning, fire rescue officials said.

A spokeswoman for Marion County Fire Rescue said crews were called to KESMARC Florida on Highway 326 in Ocala about 9:20 a.m. Friday, after a report of an explosion.

The horse, MCFR spokeswoman Jessica Greene said, was inside the chamber when it exploded. The cause of the blast is under investigation.

The woman killed was identified as Erica Marshall. A second woman, Sorcha Moneley, was taken to Shands HealthCare with traumatic injuries. She is believed to be in her 30s.
