The man who died of injuries during the Water Main Break in Downtown Branson last week is being remembered as a hero. 

According to a story posted by Ozarks First, witnesses described how Jacob Seiler III came to the aid of a co-worker after the water main was hit. Seiler and the co-worker were both injured with Seiler later dying due to his injuries. 

The City of Branson responded to Ozarks First’s request for comment, extending their deepest and most heartfelt condolences to everyone impacted. 

In another development, Ozarks First confirms that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is investigating the accident that occurred last Thursday. 

More details on both stories can be found on the Ozarks First Website.
