VANCOUVER — A construction worker injured in a fall while working on the northeast section of Canada Place on Thursday morning has died.
The man had fallen "a substantial distance" at the site, where the sails are being replaced, around 7:50 a.m. and suffered life-threatening injuries, Ledcor spokesman Lee Coonfer said.
He is one of two construction workers injured at separate Ledcor sites that morning to die of injuries.
In the second incident, a person was killed after being struck by forming material around 8:30 a.m. at the Harbour Green construction site at Thurlow and West Cordova.
WorkSafeBC communications director Donna Freeman said inspectors were at both sites in an effort to determine what happened.
The names of the workers have not been released.
