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.
