A 25-year-old man died after falling from a scaffold at a SpaceX facility near the city of Starbase, according to Cameron County Justice of the Peace Mary Esther Sorola.

Sorola said the death happened on Friday, May 15, and that the man was identified as Jose Bautista from Donna.

Sorola said Bautista was taken to Valley Regional Medical Center by a SpaceX ambulance after falling eight feet from a scaffold. He was pronounced dead at 5:15 a.m., and a preliminary autopsy report says he suffered blunt force trauma from the fall.

Channel 5 News has been reaching out to Starbase and SpaceX officials since Friday for details on the death. A Starbase official said the death happened outside city limits.

"The city extends its condolences to the family and loved ones of the individual who passed away," Starbase City Administrator Cayetana Polanco said in an email. "SpaceX’s operations and workplace matters are not within the city’s purview. We defer all inquiries regarding this incident to SpaceX, the relevant contracting company, and the appropriate authorities."

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which oversees workplace safety, said it is "investigating the incident at Starbase. More details will be available after the investigation is complete."
