Brian Larsh, 44, of Springfiled, was struck by lightning last Wednesday while waiting for a ride home from his job at Shelby Industries on McDaniels Drive.

He died Friday at Jewish Hospital in Louisville after his family made the difficult decision to have him removed from life support, said Wayne Allen, vice president of Shelby Industries.

“He had too much internal damage from the lightning and his organs hadstarted to fail,” Allen said.

Larsh was initially taken to Jewish Hospital Shelbyville, but was moved to Louisville later that day.

On behalf of the Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Protection District, I would like to thank the community for once again supporting the WHAS Crusade for Children.  Thanks to your efforts, the department collected $29,133.38.  Special thanks goes to all our firefighters that assisted this weekend, especially, Assistant Chief Richard Morris, Sgt. Cameron Canan, and Firefighter Tyler Milburn who went beyond the call of duty!

Thanks to all!

While the Henry family has been taking time off from work to stay by their critically-injured son in the hospital, neighbors have been hard at work thinking of ways to help.
