A sentencing hearing is underway for a safety director who pleaded no contest to a manslaughter charge. The case stems from a 2025 incident involving a hyperbaric chamber explosion that resulted in the death of a young child. A five-year-old boy lost his life in the explosion, which occurred when he was inside the chamber. Prosecutors alleged that staff had disregarded safety procedures.

Further information about the case and sentencing is available. The safety director's plea was entered earlier this year.
