TWO KILLED THURSDAY IN ACCIDENT AT FLETC

One construction worker unloading cinderblocks at the Federal Law Enforcement 
Training Center at Glynco was electrocuted Thursday and another died while 
apparently trying to save him, Glynn County police said.

The two Brunswick men, Beauford Grant Jr. 27, and Leon L. Causey Jr., 28, were 
pronounced dead at the scene by Glynn County Coroner Al Chapman.

Witnesses said the two men were working at a physical training building under 
construction at the northwest corner of the FLETC facility.

Police said Grant, an employee of Glynn Concrete Co., was operating a crane by 
remote control from the ground when the crane struck a high-voltage power line.

Causey, an employee of Dawson Construction Co., apparently tried to get Grant 
free and was killed himself, police said….[rest of article is Causey’s
