Kingsford Worker Dies


KENTUCKY....
Forty-two year old Jerry King, who suffered burns to over 60 percent of his body last Friday at the Kingsford charcoal plant near Burnside, was pronounced dead at 1:35 P.M. Thursday at the University of Kentucky Hospital. Dana Mayrand, Gayson Roberts and Jamie Dancy remain in serious condition. The four men suffered burns, as well as internal injuries from inhaling heated air and gases, after a fire erupted when a spark apparently ignited a small pile of particle-size charcoal. Authorities say the four men were using torches and welding equipment to repair a conveyor when the fire broke out.
