As Employee #1 reached inside with both hands, a supervisor inadvertently activated the washing machine, causing the inner drum to rotate upwards, thereby pulling Employee #1 into the washer and crushing him between the inner drum and outer drum of the washing machine. Employee #1 expired on site and was transferred to the local coroner.
