Investigation Summary
On March 1, 2022, an employee who had been installing mesh on the ceiling of a second floor loft fell through an unprotected hole and was killed. The employee fell approximately 10 feet to the concrete floor below and died on March 7, 2022. The employee had been hospitalized for a fractured left cheek bone, left ribs, and left scapula. The Medical Examiner reported that the employee died due to a pulmonary embolism caused by deep venous thrombosis which was related to both the fall and a COVID-19 infection. Both the fall and the infection are associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis. There was no evidence of COVID-19 related lung injury.
