WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — Company officials say two employees died while at work at a Northrop Grumman facility in Salt Lake County on Monday evening.
Further details about what exactly led to the deaths and who died were not made available.
The West Valley City Fire and Police Departments said they responded to the Bacchus facility after the two employees were found unconscious.
Crews attempted life-saving measures and transported the two employees to the hospital, where they later died.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
"West Valley City Police will coordinate with OSHA on the investigation," officials with the department said in a statement. "We extend our sincere condolences to the family of the employees who lost their lives as well as to the staff of Northrup Grumman.”
"Family members have been notified, and we will be working with our employee assistance program for support and family services," a statement reads. "Our employees are our most valued part of our business, and this is a tragedy that affects our entire workforce."
A friend of the employees who died set up a gofundme fundraiser in an effort to raise funds for "final expenses and financial hardships."
The fundraiser did not disclose the identity of the two employees but said "every dollar counts and every donation is appreciated."
Funds raised will be split between the two families.
