Samsung Electronics plant in Giheung
Samsung Electronics plant in Giheung

By Park Si-soo

A worker is dead and two injured after toxic gas leaked at the Samsung Electronics plant in Giheung, south of Seoul, police said Tuesday.

The accident happened at 3:40 p.m. in a section of the first basement packed with fire extinguishing equipment. Leaked Co2 from the equipment is said to have caused the accident.

A worker, 24, surnamed Lee, was found dead and two others were unconscious when rescue workers reached the scene. The dead and injured workers were from an outside contractor and not on Samsung's payroll, according to reports.

The injured workers were taken to hospital, but their condition was not immediately known.

An investigation is under way.

Samsung had a similar accident in March 2014. Then a man in his 50s, also a dispatched worker, died at Samsung's R&D center in Suwon, after inhaling toxic CO2.
