Yonhap News reports the accident occurred at an RD facility in Suwon, Korea when a fire safety system mistakenly detected a fire and released carbon dioxide, suffocating a 52-year-old man who worked for a Samsung partner. In a statement, Samsung says it deeply regrets what has happened, and adds that protecting the safety and well-being of its employees, partners, and the local community is its highest priority. Todays news follows several high-profile incidents at Samsung facilities last year.
