A Wisconsin company says a fifth worker has died after an explosion last month at its corn milling plant.

Carlos “Charly” Nunez died Friday at a hospital from injuries he suffered in the May 31 explosion at the plant in Cambria, according to Didion Milling officials. The community is about 45 miles northeast of Madison.

The blast and fire occurred as employees were working the overnight shift.
