According to a police report, witnesses told police Sexton accidentally touched a power line on Nov. 1.

He was on the job for the company Autographix — they were working on the Open Door Mission property.

Sexton was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but later died from his injuries.

Federal regulators with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration said they're investigating.

In a statement, Autographix said they're cooperating with authorities and "...will continue to do so until we are satisfied we know how this tragedy came about."
