The two men who died at a workplace in Söderhamn municipality on Tuesday were found by a man who had gone to visit one of them, reports Expressen.

The alarm reached the police at 1 p.m. The accident had occurred just over an hour earlier.

Between approximately 11:30 and 12:00, prosecutor Åse Schultz tells the newspaper.

According to the prosecutor, the men probably died when a large tire exploded. What caused the accident is unclear, but a wheel loader is believed to have been involved.

The question is whether they changed the tires on the wheel loader or used it to transport a large tire. We don't know that, says Åse Schultz.

The incident is being investigated as a workplace safety crime and two counts of manslaughter, but no one has been charged. The men were alone at the time.
