INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana regulators will release a report Wednesday on their investigation into August’s deadly stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair.

The state Department of Labor said Monday that the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s findings will be released during a Wednesday morning briefing at the Statehouse.

The Labor department says the briefing will include an outline of IOSHA’s findings and a briefing on any safety orders issued as a result of its probe. Indiana Labor Commissioner Lori Torres and Deputy Commissioner Jeffry Carter will present the findings.

Seven people died and 58 were injured after a stage collapsed Aug. 13 at the state fairgrounds.

Two out-of-state companies hired by the state are also reviewing the stage collapse and the state’s emergency response to the disaster.
