Death at Lincoln plant was an accident, authorities say

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The death of a worker at a Lincoln plant has been ruled accidental.

The coroner found that the 47-year-old man likely fell into a tank, police said Monday.

Early in the morning of July 30, he was found dead at the ADM plant near Cotner Boulevard and Cornhusker Highway.

The company, an agricultural processer, said he died in a part of the plant that wasn’t operational.

Police said because the man’s death did not involve a crime, they would not release his name.
