Second Person Injured in PCA Incident Dies From Injuries

The second person injured in an incident at the Packaging Corporation of America in Tomahawk has died.

According to Lincoln County authorities, Dustin Dean Hale, 29, died Saturday afternoon at a hospital in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Initial reports show that back on July 17th, Dennis Gougeon,47, and Hale were spraying high pressured water on a fly-ash bin at the factory. The ash ignited, seriously burning the two men. Gougeon died from his injuries a day after the incident. Both of the men were working as contractors from Michigan.
