According to the AP, EMTs freed Stewart by getting the door to release, but he was declared dead at the scene.
In a statement, the company said, "Our deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and the Heartland team."
Based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Steel Dynamics (SDI) is one of the largest steel producers and metal recyclers in the U.S.
