Kenny Johnson, a Georgia environmental official, tragically collapsed and died shortly after testifying about the BioLab chemical fire near Atlanta.

The 62-year-old had just addressed a public meeting on the toxic blaze, which spread dangerous chlorine gas and forced 17,000 people to evacuate.

Moments before collapsing, Johnson, an outspoken advocate for environmental safety, had complained of shortness of breath.

He was rushed to the hospital but did not survive. Now, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into his sudden death.

Johnson had been actively pushing for BioLab’s closure, warning of its environmental dangers.

He died shortly after speaking at this meeting.
