Fatal Dairy Incident in Keenesburg, Colorado
The Weld County Coroner's Office has identified the six individuals who tragically lost their lives in a dairy accident in Keenesburg earlier this week. Among the victims were a high school student and his father. The deceased individuals, all males aged between 17 and 50, have been identified as follows: 17-year-old Highland High School student Oscar Espinoza Leos, his father Alejandro Espinoza Cruz, Jorge Sanchez Pena, Carlos Espinoza Prado, Ricardo Gomez Galvan, and Noe Montanez Casanas. The preliminary findings from the coroner's office indicated that all six individuals died due to gas exposure in a confined space, with final autopsy and toxicology results pending. According to sources, the incident occurred when a worker entered a manure pit and accidentally triggered a release of hydrogen sulfide gas. Despite warnings from a supervisor, five individuals rushed to the worker's aid, resulting in tragic consequences. A GoFundMe page has been established to support the families of the victims.
