REDWOOD CITY -- An 18-year-old man working at a printed circuit boards company in Redwood City died early this morning after he apparently drowned in a vat of sulfuric acid, according to Sgt. Steve Dowden.

The man was one of two working at the Costal Circuits Factory at 1602 Tacoma Way at around 1:45 a.m. when he died, Dowden said.

Officials believe fumes from the various chemicals used at the factory overwhelmed the victim, and he fell forward into a waist-high vat of sulfuric acid and drowned, according to Dowden.
