An employee at a Benton County business died after he was electrocuted on the job Wednesday, according to police.

Keith Brosch, who worked at Home Brands at 4560 E. U.S. 412 in Siloam Springs, died in a workplace accident, spokesman Lt. Derek Spicer said in a news release from the Siloam Springs Police Department.

Brosch's cause of death was accidental electrocution and an elevated fall, the release said.

Spicer said that fire officials and medical personnel at the Siloam Springs Regional Hospital tried to save Brosch but were ultimately unsuccessful.

The investigation is ongoing, though police do not believe a criminal act led to Brosch's death, the release stated.



Here is what Lesa Brosch, his wife, wrote in her Facebook pages:



I lost the love of my life due to a tragic accident at work yesterday. He was and is my everything. We have been married 26 years. We have three lovely children, Aaron, Ashley and Aubrey. They will carry his character traits that so many people loved in him.

The visitation is tomorrow at Backstream Pyette funeral home from 5 - 8. The funeral is Saturday at 10:00 at Liberty Baptist.


If you knew Keith, you know what a loss and void this is on our lives.

Thank you for the prayers and comfort!
