Authorities are investigating the death of Kaspar Holland, according to a Brookshire’s news release. 

“The company wishes to express its deepest condolences to Kaspar’s family,” the news release reads. “As a family-owned company with a long history of operating as an industry leader in workplace safety, BGC has operated warehouse facilities in Tyler for close to 70 years. This is the first on-the-job injury of this severity at one of our warehouses. BGC is fully cooperating with authorities to investigate this incident.”
