A steelworker who was injured last week in an industrial accident at a northwest Indiana steel mill has died at a Chicago hospital, officials said.

Michael Osika, 44, of Schererville died Saturday after being injured Thursday at the Cleveland-Cliffs Indiana Harbor steel mill in East Chicago, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.

Osika was performing a routine repair when he was injured at the mill’s ladle maintenance area on Lake Michigan, Cleveland-Cliffs spokeswoman Patricia Persico said.
