Worker dies after being burned in Marion factory

MARION -- The owner of a salvage company died a day after he was seriously burned in an explosion at a closed Thomson television picture tube plant.\nMarvin Tinsley, 48, of Shelbyville, Ind., died Wednesday at the St. Joseph Regional Burn Center in Fort Wayne, where he was taken by helicopter after the Tuesday morning explosion, said hospital spokesman Geoff Thomas. Marion Deputy Fire Chief Brian Cowgill said Tinsley suffered second-degree burns to 75 percent of his body.\nTinsley, the owner of salvage company MKT Inc. in Shelbyville, was working with other employees of his company to remove equipment from inside a building when a live electrical line was mistakenly cut, which police said sparked a fire and explosion.\nFire Capt. Jerry Foustnight was kept overnight at Marion General Hospital after suffering smoke inhalation while helping to rescue Tinsley, Cowgill said.\nTwo other MKT workers -- Shawn Price, 24, of Williamsport, Ind., and Michael Denny, 19, of Greenwood, Ind. -- were treated at the Marion hospital for minor injuries and released, and a third worker, Raymond Parker of Marion, was treated at the scene, authorities said.\nTuesday's explosion at the sprawling 1 million-square-foot plant followed an Aug. 29 blast that killed a salvage worker, who police said was using a blowtorch to detach a tank from a building when it blew up.
