Seattle Worker Dies In Four-Story Fall From Hotel Construction Site

A Seattle construction worker was killed by a fall on November 12, 2009, as he was competing a job in a new hotel in the Lynnwood area. Lynnwood Police say that the as-yet unidentified 45-year-old man was helping a crew offload rolls of carpeting when he fell out of the building structure four stories above the sidewalk. The carpet installer was taking the rolls of carpet from a forklift at the time of the fatal Lynnwood accident. The accident happened at around 10 am when the worker leaned too far out of the window and lost his balance.

Although Lynnwood emergency workers and the fire department rushed the man to Harborview Medical Center, he died of his fall injuries after arrival. Police are investigating the deadly fall incident.
