An employee was found dead June 23 at the Ottawa County (Ohio) Regional Water Treatment Plant, prompting an ongoing investigation. The worker was discovered face down in a water-filled tank, and he was the only person on duty at the time of the incident.
Authorities say no foul play is suspected. The county coroner’s office has outsourced the autopsy, with results expected in three to six months.
As a precaution, a boil water advisory has been issued for surrounding areas while officials conduct tests to confirm water quality.
