Cleveland, U.K.—Emergency services were called to Israel Chemicals Ltd. UK’s (ICL UK) Boulby potash mine in northeast England on Feb. 22 after the “sudden death” of a 53-year-old man. Police were called to the mine at around 2:00 p.m. local time. “Everyone at the mine is deeply saddened by this tragic incident,” said ICL UK. “The police have made clear the death is not being treated as suspicious. We will, of course, provide any information which the coroner may require.” Employees at the mine were sent home after news of the incident emerged, but a spokesperson for ICL UK said the mine was working normally again as of Feb. 23.
