14th Worker Dies from Sugar Refinery Blast

A 14th refinery worker has died from injuries sustained in a February explosion at the Imperial Sugar refinery near Savannah, Ga.

Malcolm Frazier, 47, who worked as a floor manager at the site, died early today six months after being burned over 75 percent of his body in the blast.

According to investigators, the Feb. 7 blast was the result of sugar dust igniting below the plant's storage silos.

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) last month suggested $8.7 million in fines against Texas-based Imperial Sugar for the tragedy.
