William Thornton Death – The individual who passed away while operating a forklift at Mitchell Industrial Tire Co. in McLennan County has been identified by authorities. The McLennan County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that the deceased is William Thornton, a 39-year-old man.
On June 6, while operating the forklift, Thornton collided with a rack of tires, as reported by the MCSO. Unfortunately, when assistance arrived, Thornton was already deceased. The MCSO has stated that they suspect Thornton experienced a medical emergency, and the accident itself was not the direct cause of his death.
Judge David Pareya has ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death, and the results are currently pending.
