As he was checking the oil flow into the tank, Employee #1 was apparently overcome by toxic substances/oxygen deficiency. He was killed. There were no witnesses to the accident and it is not known whether Employee #1 had descended into the tank and was then overcome or whether he had been leaning into the tank and fell in after being overcome.
