Investigation Summary
The Lincoln Theater was staging up for a live radio broadcast when a 50-lb 14-in. by 5-in. by 2-in. lead counterweight fell from the overhead set up area on to the stage level. Initially it was reported that the weight had struck Employee #1 causing a head injury.

In this attempt to escape the falling counterweight, he lost his balance and fell onto the stage left stairs and struck his head on the steps. Employee #1 was contracted for services and was self employed. He was immediately transport to the local hospital where he later died.
