Found this on RSOE...

I also went looking for Another Source For Confirmation

The second source is pretty much the same info that is found on RSOE.

I wanted to share, and bring forth these two workers story.

My condolences go out to the families.

It's always tragic when people die.

But there is something that gives it an even sadder tone,
when the person is killed "Making a living", working to put food on the table.
