The Rock County Medical Examiner is releasing the name of the man killed in a Town of Beloit industrial accident. The Beloit Fire Department reported the man was found lying on the bottom floor of the partly demolished Rock River Generating Plant last Friday with “severe trauma to his abdomen.” The medical examiner says 57-year-old David Smaniotto of Salem, Wisconsin likely died from injuries sustained in the accident. Deputy Fire Chief Glen Hennig says Smaniotto was working on a beam when something came loose. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating.
