CAYCE, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina officials are investigating after a worker was killed at a metal plant.
Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher said 25-year-old Corey Thomas Morris of Murrells Inlet was working for a contractor at CMC Steel South Carolina in Cayce on Thursday afternoon when he died.
Fisher’s office said in a statement Friday afternoon that Morris died from a blow to the head. The statement did not say how that occurred other than calling it a workplace accident.
Fisher says no one else was hurt.
The company and Cayce police are also investigating.
