COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Swedish police are looking into the unexplained deaths of three men who died within a short period after working at a local electric vehicle battery plant in the Arctic. Officers said Thursday that they wanted to find out whether the tragedies are linked, a crime has been committed or if they are a string of accidental workplace fatalities. The deaths have puzzled Swedish media which have reported about the deaths at Northvolt’s plant in Skelleftea, some 620 kilometers (385 miles) north of Stockholm. A police investigator said “there is some kind of indication that there has been some type of exposure in one of the cases”  but he didn’t rule out anything.
