Federal officials have launched a safety investigation after a local deputy sheriff was killed at a Georgia sperm bank. Greg Meagher died after apparently inhaling leaking liquid nitrogen while trying to save a worker. The 57-year-old had raced into the Augusta Xytex sperm bank twice on Sunday after an emergency phone call report that a worker was in distress, authorities said. Liquid nitrogen, used to freeze sperm donations, quickly turns into a gas once released into the air, displacing oxygen. “They were actually pumping him, like giving him mouth” to mouth, a sperm bank neighbor told WSBTV.
