LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Two men are dead after a "workplace explosion" last Tuesday at the Dine Company warehouse.
Pleasure Ridge Park Deputy Fire Chief Joseph Bowman said first responders were called to the warehouse around 3 p.m. on June 27.
When first responders arrived on scene they located two men, identified as 55-year-old Hugh S. Doty and 60-year-old Christopher Baril.
Bowman said the two men were transported to UofL Hospital with critical injuries. Baril died from injuries sustained in the explosion on June 30. Doty, Jr., died from his injuries on July 1.
Officials said it appears the two men were working on a commercial-style oven when the explosion happened. It's unclear if the equipment suffered a mechanical failure so Louisville Metro Arson was called in.
According to Louisville Metro Arson, this case is still under investigation.
