A SpaceX contractor died last week while working at the company’s Starbase headquarters in Texas, according to the Cameron County Sheriff Department.
The sheriff’s office said it responded to the fatal incident on May 15 but did not identify the worker or disclose the cause of the apparent workplace accident.
Cameron County authorities referred further questions to SpaceX, leaving the company as the main source for any additional details on the death.
