Survivors want a private investigation into forklift death. By Kyle Wood and Dan Daly Journal Staff Writers Tom Kueter wasn't suicidal, even though the county coroner says Kueter allowed a forklift to crush his skull, an attorney for Kueter's family said Thursday. And to prove he wasn't suicidal, the family is calling for an independent investigation by his employer's insurance company, said attorney Richard Bode.

Kueter, 29, died June 28 after an unoccupied forklift ran over him as he worked alone at Forest Products Distributors a wood processing plant off South Highway 79. Pennington County Coroner Mike Jacob last Wednesday ruled the death a suicide.

Suicide rules out any workers' compensation benefits for Kueter's family, he said. He said the family "wants to see a clear link between the accident and the (Marcotte) disappearance." Police have not said publicly whether they considered Kueter a suspect in Marcotte's disappearance. Bode would not say whether the family would challenge the suicide ruling in court. Investigators Thursday afternoon said they will stand by their findings. Police Detective Capt.

Doug Noyes said the Kueter family's response was common. "It's just a sad thing for this family to go through," he said. "I'm comfortable with the investigation we're doing and leave it at that." OSHA spokesman Tom Deutscher said the agency had not completed its report on the death. Carroll Korb, president of Forest Product Distributors said Bode's concentrate on the front because of the gas pumps. That would have been the end of Oglala," said Arlen Janis, Pine Ridge fire chief.

He said arson was a possibility and that the state fire marshal in Custer had been asked to investigate. Four trucks and eight of Pine Ridge's 10 firefighters responded to the alarm. They remained until 4 a.m. Thursday, and small, scattered flames still generated considerable heat at 6 a.m. Some flames were in the front of the store at ground level near the gasoline tanks.

Years of using kerosene to control dust on the wooden floors added to the building's flammability.

"This is news to me," Korb said. He also questioned the value of another investigation. Forest Products' insurance carrier had an investigator on the scene the day Kueter died, said Korb.

Also, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, two local law enforcement agencies and the county coroner investigated the death. Jacob said the forklift that killed Kueter was in good shape. Mechanical failure was ruled out, he said. Before the coroner ruled Kueter's death a suicide, Korb said, the investigators re-enacted the incident and interviewed employees who were at the scene shortly after he died. Kueter was a skilled forklift operator who had undergone special training less than two weeks before his death, Korb said.

He also said Forest Products' safety record was good. plicated fighting the fire Wednesday night. Firefighters had one fire hydrant to fill the water tanks on their trucks and refilled each unit five or sue times. "Very low water pressure was the problem. It took a long time to refill.

We had to be careful not to collapse the line," Janis said. The store was between two groups of cluster housing and near the post office and six other homes. No one was injured, and no other structures burned, including a large storage building about 30 feet away. Oglala has another store, but many people in the housing areas who have no transportation depended on the Trading Post for groceries and household supplies.

nil person to see Tina Marcotte, a woman who has been missing since June 24, when she disappeared from a Dyess Avenue wood processing plant. A tire on Marcotte's car had been knifed, and Kueter pulled up as she finished the night shift at Black Hills Moulding. She told a friend that night that she would get a ride home with Kueter. Bode says the investigation into Kueter's death, done by the Pennington County Sheriffs office, the Rapid City Police department and the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration, has been "cursory." "As yet, the Kueters maintain that there has been no thorough investigation done into either the work place of Forest Products Distributors Inc.

or the equipment under which his body was found crushed," Bode wrote in a press release. Bode said he had asked Forest Products Distributors' insurance carrier to hire an independent investiga "I could smell gas on the roof. It started on one side of the roof and bumed through in about six spots within minutes," Page said. A neighbor saw someone with a gasoline can near the store, according to Page, who said he had received threats in the past. Two weeks ago, a small fire at the back of the store was extinguished quickly.

Page, who had insured the store, saved only some videotapes and the credit files. The fire could have wiped out a lot of Oglala. Gasoline tanks stand only about 12 feet from where the store entrance used to be.
