A twelfth person has died as a result of an explosion at a Georgia sugar refinery earlier this month. Another patient died Tuesday at a hospital burn center, a hospital spokeswoman said. According to spokeswoman Beth Frits, eleven patients from the Imperial Sugar Co. in Port Wentworth remained in critical condition at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital, and another was in serious condition. Investigators say the explosion was fueled by airborne sugar dust at the refinery, near Savannah. They have not yet determined what ignited it.
