A Shocking Loss Felt Across the Community
Marc Glaser was more than just a worker doing his job — he was a neighbor, a friend, and a valued member of the Salem community. Known for his steady work ethic and easy smile, Marc was someone people counted on to get the job done right. Now, his family is grappling with the sudden, senseless loss of a man who should have returned home at the end of his shift.
Authorities, including OSHA and the New Hampshire Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, quickly arrived to secure the site and investigate the incident. While official conclusions have yet to be made, the reality remains: a man is gone, a coworker is seriously injured, and an ordinary workday has left a permanent scar on those who witnessed it.
Calling for Safety, Seeking Closure
The Salem Police Department has asked the public to step forward with any information that may assist in the investigation. Detective Jake Genest is leading the inquiry into how this tragedy unfolded. Workplace safety advocates hope the accident will serve as a sobering reminder of the importance of strict safety measures when working near electrical hazards.
Marc’s loved ones now face the difficult path of grief, holding onto memories of the man they cherished while demanding answers about how and why this happened. For those in Salem and beyond, his death is a reminder that life can change — or end — in a single moment.
