Investigation Summary
On July 5, 2005, Employee #1 was working from a ladder, attempting to clear hydrated lime slurry from the bottom of the Number 2 quench reactor. Far more slurry had accumulated than usual, and when Employee #1 removed the plate from the bottom of the reactor, the slurry came out with more force than Employee #1 had anticipated. He was knocked to the floor. He aspirated the lime slurry and was killed. The coroner's report gave asphyxia as the cause of death.
