Nix Forest Industries employees dies

An employee of a Timpson company has died from injuries sustained in a work-related accident last week. According to Pct. 5 Constable Stanley Burgay, 58-year old Augustine Ramirez was working in the sawmill area at Nix Forest Industries last Wednesday afternoon, when the commercial saw band came apart and struck Ramirez in the head, causing severe trauma. Constable Burgay said the Timpson Volunteer Ambulance Service responded and summoned Life Air from Shreveport, who transported Ramirez to LSU Health Center, where he died from injuries Thursday. Constable Burgay says Ramirez had worked for Nix Forest Industries, formerly Tyer Lumber Company for 7 years. He also said Nix Forest officials say it was the first injury related death at the company in its 80 year history.
