According to reports, the accident occurred at Galaxy Granite and Cabinets in Tampa, FL. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office responded to calls of a “person down” at the business around 3:40 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 1.

When first responders arrived, they discovered a 16-year-old male was underneath “multiple pieces of granite” that appeared to have fallen on top of him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

No foul-play is suspected and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is investigating the work-related incident.
