Electrical Worker Falls To Death At LCA: Patch PM

METRO DETROIT, MI — Investigators don’t know why an electrical worker fell 75 feet while working at the new Little Caesars Arena construction site Wednesday morning. Rescue attempts failed, and he was pronounced dead at Detroit Receiving Hospital.

Detroit Deputy Fire Commissioner Dave Forell said the fire department got the dispatch about about 8 a.m. and he was in cardiac arrest when they arrived at the site on Cass Avenue. The man wasn’t wearing a safety harness when rescue crews arrived, but it may have been removed by co-workers who had already begun CPR, Forell said. Read the rest of the story here.
