Authorities were called to Sooner Coating in Catoosa around 7 a.m. Dec. 6 for reports of an industrial accident, the Tulsa Fire Department said, according to KJRH.

The morning crew coming into work found the two men, who had been working overnight, dead, firefighters said, according to KTUL.

The men were using a crane system when they were pinned under a sheet of metal, Andy Little with the Tulsa Fire Department told KOTV.
