Worker Injured In Flash Fire At Plant Dies From Injuries

Posted:

GALLATIN, Tenn. - The second worker injured in a flash fire at a Gallatin industrial plant in January has died of complications from his injuries.

Vernon Corley died Saturday at Vanderbilt; 16 weeks after he was seriously burned in the flash fire at Hoeganaes Corporation in Gallatin.

Corley and another mechanic, Wiley Sherburne, were fixing a broken elevator back in January when flammable metal dust that had accumulated in the area ignited, engulfing them in flames. Sherburne died two days later.

Corley leaves behind a wife and four young children.
