AUSTIN, Texas — Authorities are investigating following reports of a death at the Tesla Gigafactory in Austin.
Officials with Austin-Travis County EMS said they were called out to the Tesla facility Thursday morning for what they described as an adult patient in cardiac arrest. The person was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
At that same time, the Travis County Sheriff's Office said its deputies were also called out to the Tesla facility regarding a "deceased person."
Details on the incident are limited, but the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) confirmed that it has opened an investigation into the incident and will not release any more information until the investigation is complete.
Currently, there is no known cause of death and it's unclear if the person was an employee or a contractor at the facility.
KVUE reached out to Tesla multiple times for more information on the incident, but we have not yet heard back.
