On June 28, 2025, a worker suffered an electrical incident while working at the QTS data-center construction site in Fayetteville, Georgia, and died in hospital on July 2, 2025. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution identified him as Anthony J. Riera Azuaje, 25, reporting that his parents filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against electrical contractor Allison-Smith Company; the lawsuit's claims of negligent electrical installation are allegations, not established findings, and QTS was not named as a defendant. AI connection: General data center — the sources identify the QTS construction project but do not establish that the facility or work involved AI infrastructure.
