Coroner identifies 46-year-old man killed at UPS Worldport in Louisville

Authorities said foul play is not suspected in the employee's death.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — An employee is dead after an incident happened at the UPS Worldport facility in Louisville Thursday afternoon.

According to authorities, members of the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) Public Safety Department responded to an area at Worldport near the 900 block of Grade Lane around 4:30 p.m. on reports of an employee that had been struck by a vehicle. 

On Friday, the Jefferson County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 46-year-old Dallas Carroll, of Georgetown, Indiana.

Louisville Fire spokesperson Donovan Sims told WHAS11 News that a crew was dispatched to the facility for an "extrication involving a semi." Police said Carroll died at the scene.

"We are deeply saddened by the passing of an employee today at Worldport," UPS spokesperson Jim Mayer said. "Our thoughts are with their family."

It's unclear if Carroll was a member of the Teamsters Local 89 union, however a spokesperson said the union's "hearts are with all those involved and affected by this tragic incident."

Investigators added they do not suspect foul play, but LMPD's Homicide Unit will be handling the investigation.
