PEWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) - Authorities are investigating the death of an employee at a paper distribution plant in Pewaukee.

It happened Monday at the Xpedx plant.

Officials said a five-foot stack of paper fell on the victim. That was after a shelving unit filled with pallets of paper gave way and fell down.

Waukesha County sheriff’s officials said company employees helped deputies and rescue personnel move the paper and free the victim.

No one else was hurt.
