Worksafe will not prosecute anyone in relation to the death of a Queenstown man at Closeburn Station a year ago.
Phillip Anderson (Andy) Loving (63), an American citizen and Queenstown resident, died and a 19-year-old man was injured on April 10 last year after they were pinned against a wall by a sewage truck while working on a septic tank.
No-one was in the sewage truck at the time.
A WorkSafe spokeswoman said its investigation was complete, and the matter had been referred to the coroner. The incident occurred on one of the 27 properties in the hillside subdivision, which is 11km west of Queenstown on the Glenorchy-Queenstown Rd.
