Death of ex Coryite ruled unavoidable in inquest
Coroner's jury absolved Harold Redinger after an Erie inquest into the death of Robert Olson a former Cory resident. Olson was killed when a heavy grill fell on him at a plant yard while he worked his shift. Grover Bissell crane operator testified he warned Olson as the grill began to fall but Olson tried to escape only a few steps before the crushing. Olson and his family had moved to Erie eight months earlier and he was employed at the Aeco Supply plant. The verdict also cleared Redinger in the separate incident where Clayton Chamberlain was killed by Redinger's car, with the coroner ruling Chamberlain responsible for his own death.
