Dave Gerovac, owner of Eagle Rock, said he couldn't comment on the incident, citing the ongoing investigation.

He said Dubey was a "a longtime valued employee.'

"It was just a tragic accident," Gerovac said. "We haven't had a major accident in the history of my company, and it hit everybody pretty hard."

Founded in 2001, Eagle Rock employ about 200 people, Gerovac said.
