|
Published by Daily Mail.Com
March 3, 2015
Australia -The young electrician who tragically died in the hospital several hours after an explosion at a Perth shopping centre has been named as local man Matt Hutchins. The tradesman suffered burns to 80 per cent of his body in the blast at the Galleria Shopping Centre in Morley.
Hutchins was carrying out electrical maintenance with three colleagues, for a privately owned WA company that services the high voltage electrical industry, when the fatal accident happened. One of his colleagues, a 30-year-old Irish man, died at the scene while the two others are fighting for their lives in hospital.
The electrical company High Energy Service Pty Ltd confirmed to Perth Now its employees and subcontractors were the electricians involved.
There was an explosion which has resulted in multiple serious injuries. High Energy Service Pty Ltd was conducting work in the vicinity of the explosion and their employees and subcontractors were injured,' general manager Brad Mitchell said in a statement released on Tuesday.
'This is a truly tragic day and our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the deceased persons and those of the injured employees,' he added.
Witnesses saw three of the men running from the scene on fire.
Jonathan McDonagh was among several people who tried to help the injured, taking off his shirt and using it to put out the flames. He described the scene as horrific, panicked and rushed.
The exact cause of the explosion is unknown but lightning has been ruled out, and EnergySafe and WorkSafe are investigating. The two survivors are being treated at Royal Perth Hospital.
