(La Porte County, IN) - The second workplace death at a La Porte County manufacturer within the past decade remains under investigation, as Christopher Searle, 44, was found dead on February 22nd at Markman Peat, a soil and landscape product maker in the Kingsbury Industrial Park.

La Porte County Coroner Lynn Swanson said he was stuck between two sections of a robotic palletizer, a machine that automates the process of stacking product onto pallets.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is in charge of the investigation.

Previously, Alejandro Anguiana, 41, was killed at Markman Peat in 2015. At the time, authorities said he was pulled three feet off the ground when his sweatshirt became wrapped around a turning shaft on a machine that carried bags to another side of the plant as part of the packaging process.
