A man was killed in an industrial accident at a Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, lumber mill.
According to the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's office, deputies responded to a medical call at approximately 7 p.m. on June 3 at W.G. Sullivan's lumber yard and sawmill in the 16000 block of Highway 171.
Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit Capt. Jack Kennedy said the employee had been severely injured by industrial machinery and was pronounced dead on the scene.
The Sheriff's Office's Violent Crimes Unit (VCU) is conducting a death investigation alongside the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences Medical Examiner's Office, but investigators said there is currently no indication of foul play.
Kennedy said that because there is nothing to suggest foul play, authorities will not be releasing the victim’s name.
