MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) - In a story May 31 about an investigation into a death of a man at a Muscatine metal fabrication plant, The Associated Press reported erroneously that federal workplace safety employees would lead the inquiry. The investigation will be conducted by state employees of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
