MADISON, Wis. (AP) — An executive of the corn mill plant leveled in an explosion and fire this week in southern Wisconsin has identified the three workers killed in the blast. Didion Milling Plant operations vice president Derrick Clark said Friday that mill operator Duelle Block, fork lift operator Robert Goodenow and packing machine operator Pawel Tordoff died in the explosion and fire late Wednesday. Block’s body was found early Thursday, not long after the explosion. Goodenow’s body was recovered late Thursday and Tordoff’s body was found Friday morning. The explosion and fire that leveled the plant at the milling complex also injured about a dozen others. The cause of the explosion remains under investigation. Clark says a fire two days before the explosion at the Didion plant was unrelated to Wednesday’s explosion.
