July 1: An investigation is underway into the death last week of a contract employee who fell headfirst into a 10-1/2-foot-deep hole at an Ohio AES substation under construction.
The victim known as Bradley Fritz, 36, of Winchester, Indiana, through the Miami County Sheriff’s Office. His cause of death is pending.
Attendants and caregivers were around 1:30:21 p. m. in June at 1870 Gingham Frederick Road in Monroe Township, near Tipp City, according to the incident report.
Crews were digging holes for the substation’s infrastructure when an auger of earth clogged. After being brought to the surface to clean it, he possibly would have thrown the victim into the hole, Congressman Warren Edmondson said.
Staff tied a rope around the victim’s foot, pulled it out of the hollow machines and began CPR. MPs used a defibrillator before doctors took him to Kettering Health Dayton, where he died from his injuries, Edmondson said.
AES Ohio issued the following statement:
“On Tuesday, June 21, a subcontractor applying for AES Ohio suffered a serious injury that later resulted in death. AES Ohio expresses its deepest condolences to the individual’s circle of family and resource supplies as they mourn the loss of a loved one. “
The Cincinnati Occupational Safety and Health Administration also opened an investigation into the death at the site, and the worker’s employer, Cobalt Civil, founded in Winchester, Indiana, is conducting an internal investigation, Edmondson said.
