MIDDLETOWN (AP) - An employee of a contractor has died after being injured at AK Steel's Middletown Works plant in southwest Ohio.

Machinists and Aerospace Workers union local president Scott Rich says the worker leaned against a controller while working on a lift and was crushed between the lift and a pipe.

The worker's identity wasn't released immediately.

Alan McCoy, spokesman for AK Steel Holding Corp., says the contractor worker was injured Monday and died during a surgical procedure either late Tuesday night or early Wednesday.

A message was left seeking comment from the victim's employer, United Group Services Inc. of Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating.
