Kent, de 59 años, muere aplastado en la mina de Kiruna

Kent Torneus, de 59 años, falleció en un accidente laboral en la mina de Kiruna en mayo de 2024. Su hijo Rickard comparte el dolor y las críticas hacia la empresa empleadora, LKAB.

Kent Torneus trabajaba como mecánico en la mina de Kiruna desde hace 29 años, hasta que un día fue aplastado por una compuerta en una máquina trituradora. El accidente ocurrió durante unas labores de mantenimiento a 1.403 metros de profundidad.

Su hijo, Rickard Torneus, recibió la noticia esa misma tarde y describe la espera en el hospital mientras su padre era sacado de la mina. A Kent le faltaban diez meses para jubilarse.

El incidente está siendo investigado por un fiscal y se espera una decisión antes de mediados de verano. LKAB se reserva cualquier comentario hasta que concluya la investigación preliminar.
