MONTCALM COUNTY, MI – A 22-year-old man died Thursday, March 21, in an industrial accident at the former Edmore Hospital, sheriff’s deputies said.

The victim’s name was not released.

The incident was reported at 8:26 p.m. in the 1000 block of East Howard City-Edmore Road in Montcalm County’s Home Township, sheriff’s deputies said.
