Summary
A worker was killed at Ryobi Die Casting's Shelbyville, Indiana plant, with local police, the county coroner, OSHA and the state fire marshal investigating.
Police said they will release no further details until the scene is processed, a step expected to take 24 to 48 hours because factory equipment must cool.
The victim's identity has not been released, and Ryobi later confirmed the death followed an incident on the evening of Aug. 7.
The Shelbyville site employs more than 700 people and is part of Ryobi's wider manufacturing network spanning China, Japan, Mexico, Thailand and the UK.
