One of two people who were rescued after an industrial accident in Providence Village died Thursday afternoon, Aubrey officials confirmed to Star-Telegram media partner, WFAA-TV.
One of the two rescued men was taken to a hospital in critical condition and the other was in stable condition, Aubrey fire chief Eric Schlotter told WFAA.
The Aubrey Police Department posted an update at 4:50 p.m. on Facebook stating that one of the victims did not survive his injuries.
The medical examiner identified him as 29-year-old Jesus Perez Vasquez, according to WFAA.
Providence Village is in Denton County and is about 51 miles northeast of Fort Worth.
The city of Providence Village said in a social media post Thursday that the town was “experiencing issues at the water tower that will impact water availability.”
Schlotter confirmed the city is without water service as a result of the incident and could not determine when services will be restored, WFAA reported.
A boil water notice was also issued for Providence Village.
