A man died after falling into a vat of oil at a plant Disney World uses to recycle food waste, according to the Washington Post.
The incident happened shortly after midnight Tuesday at a facility near Disney World.
According to the Post, two men were emptying oil and grease into the vat when a worker, later identified as 61-year-old John Korody slipped and fell into the vat.
Korody’s co-worker tried to pull him out, but the fumes from the oil and grease overwhelmed both of the men.
A spokesperson for Walt Disney World confirmed Korody wasn’t an employee of the resort, but of Harvest Power, the company that converts the food waste into renewable energy.
