BRUNSWICK - Officials were investigating the death of a paper machine operator killed on the job at a Georgia-Pacific pulp mill in south Georgia. <br> <br> Twenty-nine-year-old Michael Douglas O&#39;Quinn of Brunswick was found Tuesday lying on the floor next to a machine that produces ``fluff pulp&#39;&#39; for use in products such as coffee filters and artificial snow. <br> <br> Glynn County coroner Jimmy Durden said O&#39;Quinn was struck on the left side of the head. He described the blow as ``not extensive,&#39;&#39; but still enough to kill the man. <br> <br> It wasn&#39;t clear how the accident occurred, but Durden said the death most likely will be ruled an accident. <br> <br> Company spokeswoman Anna Umphress said Thursday that officials from the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration and company safety inspectors were still investigating the accident.
