FOUNTAIN CITY, Wis. — Federal and state regulators have launched separate investigations into the death of a Winona State University student who died while working at a restaurant in western Wisconsin.

Twenty-one-year-old Brooke Baures was found dead in a food elevator at WingDam Saloon and Grill in Fountain City Monday night.

Buffalo County Sheriff Mike Schmidtknecht told the Winona Daily News Baures may have pushed the elevator button to send the dumbwaiter from the second to the first floor of the restaurant and possibly noticed something and reached for it.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services are investigating the death. The Wisconsin agency is responsible for regulating and inspecting all elevators, including dumbwaiters. OSHA is responsible for investigating workplace injuries and deaths.
