Conn. Construction Worker Dies from Fall Injuries
Police say a Connecticut worker has died after falling up to 60 feet at a Stamford construction site.
Stamford police Capt. Richard Conklin said the man, who is in his 30s and from Danbury, was working on a roof at the under-construction Chelsea Piers sports complex when he fell around 1:15 p.m. Tuesday.
He landed on pavement and died at the scene.
Police and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) were investigating, including whether gusty winds might have been a factor in his fall.
The Chelsea Piers project sits on land once occupied by the Clairol hair products company. It is near another complex where Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Tuesday that NBC Sports planned to lease space.
Malloy and others had already left before the worker fell nearby.
