At approximately 3:15 a.m. on December 12, 1992, Employee #1 was apparently smoking and fell asleep in the office of an automotive repair shop. Employee #1 was not working and was not being paid at the time. A nitrous oxide cylinder exploded because the safety relief device did not operate. A fire ensued and two citizens nearby attempted to rescue Employee #1, who suffered fourth degree burns to all parts of his body and was later pronounced dead at the scene. Causal factors may also include failure to mark the exit doors. | |||||||
