[Ferro-Alloys.Com]A 29 year old worker at the troubled ILVA steel plant in the southern Italian city of Taranto was found dead on October 30th 2012. As per report, an investigation has been launched into the cause of death after Mr. Claudio Marsella's body was found next to a locomotive engine inside the plant.

ILVA has for months been at the centre of a major industrial and environmental dispute since a court in the port town ordered the shutdown of its smelting facilities and mineral park in July 2012, saying the steelworks was the source of an ongoing environmental disaster.
