Investigation Summary
At 2:50 p.m. on January 26, 2021, Employee #1, a temporary employee, was on the starboard side of a coal barge after completing cleaning coke residue from the cargo area. He was removing the hoses that were used for the cleanup when a hose went overboard. The hose got entangled around the employee's foot/ankle and he was pulled into the Mississippi River. Coworkers called "man overboard" and went to grab a life ring that was approximately 30-45 feet away on the dry dock but the employee was swept away before they could reach him. The employee's body was recovered on May 15, 2021.
