Excel Specialty Products is a subsidiary of Cargill Inc. Mark Klein, director of media relations at Cargill in Minneapolis tells The Associated Press that Wilson was mending a cooler when the hydraulic lift he was on toppled over. He says the company is "still trying to determine what happened."
The county attorney's office says Wilson suffered internal injuries and died at the hospital.
An autopsy has been scheduled.
