Bowman Andros employee dies at Mt. Jackson facility [View all]

A 53-year-old employee of Bowman Andros Products died Friday after entering a cold-storage room without the proper equipment, according to the Shenandoah County Fire Marshal’s Office.

Russell Conrad, of Wardensville, West Virginia, was pronounced dead at Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, Fire Marshal David Ferguson said by phone interview.

The report came in at 9:37 a.m., said Shannon Walters, service assistant with the Shenandoah County Fire & Rescue Department.

Another employee entered the cold-storage room after Conrad became unresponsive and attempted to help him but was unable to stay because of the lack of oxygen in the room, Ferguson said.

There is a WHOLE lot more to this than what was reported in this story...which was apparently not even published in the Harrisonburg paper, although I don't subscribe to that rag so I only know what I see online. See my comment below for what else I know.
