LINCOLNTON, NC - A cabinetmaker working at RSI Home Products died Feb. 23 when he got caught in an angular saw.

The Lincoln County Sheriff's office identified the victim as Marendonio Francisco Viruel Lopez. The sheriff's office said Lopez had worked at RSI Home Products for eight years under an assumed name. 

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is reportedly investigating the incident.

Anaheim, CA-based RSI, one of the nation's largest cabinet manufacturers, operates nine manufacturing and distribution centers in the U.S. and Mexico.

A day before the accident, RSI regained sole ownership after completing a buyback of 50 percent equity interest from Onex Corp. and its affiliates for $323 million
