NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. (AP) — A worker at a meat-processing plant in southeastern Nebraska has died following a fall.

The Otoe County Attorney's Office identified the Excel Specialty Products employee as 49-year-old Timothy Wilson of Nebraska City.

Police and rescue crews were called to the Nebraska City plant about 4 a.m. Saturday.

Excel Specialty Products is a subsidiary of Cargill Inc. Mark Klein, director of media relations at Cargill in Minneapolis tells The Associated Press that Wilson was mending a cooler when the hydraulic lift he was on toppled over. He says the company is "still trying to determine what happened."

The county attorney's office says Wilson suffered internal injuries and died at the hospital.

An autopsy has been scheduled.
