DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- A worker who was injured last week at the Wolfspeed facility in Durham has died from their injuries, ABC11 learned Monday.

The person's name has not been released.

The North Carolina Department of Labor said that person was at the site as a contracted worker with Southern Industrial Constructors Inc.

The Department of Labor has opened an inspection into that company.

It's Southern Industrial's second employee to die this year.
