Seattle Construction Worker Falls To His Death: Report

SEATTLE, WA -- A construction worker at Seattle University reportedly fell to his death Saturday. KOMO reported the incident has prompted the state to investigate the sudden death.

"According to investigators, Ray Estores, 23, was installing rebar at a college dormitory project when he fell and died. No official cause has been determined and the accident remains under investigation," KOMO reported.

Family members told the news station that they believe the death could have been prevented.

"The father said he was briefed by his son's union, Ironworkers Local 86, and the photos and evidence he's been shown make him think that more could have been done to keep his son from falling from nearly the top of the building," KOMO reported.
