A 37-year-old Hampton man has been identified as the worker killed last week when he was pulled into a machine at a fertilizer company south of the Twin Cities.
John Reinhardt's death Feb. 1 at Sustane Natural Fertilizer in Cannon Falls was being investigated by the Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The agency said Tuesday that it conducted a routine inspection of the plant Sept. 10 and issued 19 citations, including 15 classified as serious. Four were classified as nonserious.
Reinhardt was identified by the regional medical examiner's office serving Goodhue County. Further details about his death were not released.
Reinhardt was born and raised in Hastings, according to his online obituary, which noted that he "will forever be remembered for having a heart of gold and a stellar singing voice."
