WEST VALLEY CITY — Two Northrop Grumman employees are dead after West Valley firefighters and police officers responded to Northrop Grumman at 6478 W. 5400 South Monday night regarding two employees who were found unconscious.
Fire department crews attempted life-saving measures before taking the two employees to a hospital, where they were ultimately pronounced dead, West Valley police spokeswoman Roxanne Vainuku said.
The Occupational Health and Safety Administration, along with West Valley police, will conduct a coordinated investigation into the incident.
"We extend our sincere condolences to the family of the employees who lost their lives as well as to the staff of Northrup Grumman," Vainuku said.
Investigators have not provided any details about the circumstances of the deaths, or what the employees were doing at the time of their collapse.
Northrop Grumman did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.
