VIDEOS: One person is dead following an explosion at an Oakwood Village manufacturing plant Monday afternoon, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office confirms.
Officials are expected to provide new details during a 2 p.m. press conference today, which we will stream live.
Multiple crews from across Greater Cleveland and Akron responded to the I. Schumann & Co. metal plant on Alexander Road, near Bedford, where the blast led to a fire just after 2:15 p.m. Oakwood Fire Capt. Brian DiRocco says at least 13 others were taken to local hospitals, with several suffering burn injuries. The deceased victim has been identified as 46-year-old North Ridgeville native Steve Mullins, and sources tell WKYC's Lydia Esparra he was a maintenance worker at the plant.
