Human Remains Found at Tri-Chem Industries Plant in Hood County

CRESSON (WBAP/KLIF News) – Authorities in Hood County said they recovered human remains at the Tri-Chem Industries Plant in Cresson on Wednesday afternoon.

The new development comes almost a week to the day of an explosion and fire that erupted at the plant March 15th.

It’s believed the explosion may have been caused by static electricity when employees were mixing toxic chemicals.

Two employees were injured in the blast and one person, 27-year-old Dylan Mitchell, was believed to have been killed in the blast.

A few days after the explosion, authorities said the search for Mitchell had turned into a recovery effort.

The remains have been taken to Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office in Fort Worth for positive identification.
