BASF makes MDI. Phosgene and Aniline are some man killers. If that is what got him/them, that’s a painful end for anyone. Prayers to all involved.

Phosgene


Yikes. Not the way i wanna go

Why is phosgene so dangerous?

Phosgene inhalation may cause initially symptoms of respiratory tract irritation, patients feel fine thereafter, and then die of choking a day later because of build up of fluid in the lungs (delayed onset non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema). Phosgene exposure is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Olin on the Westlake side of Calcasieu River used to make Phosgene and there were several times that drivers on I-10 were gassed.
