One worker is in critical condition and one has been pronounced dead after two separate incidents in Kai Tak on Friday afternoon. Around 11 a.m. today, a construction worker was struck down by a piece of rock while working and he lay bleeding on the third-floor platform of Shing Fu Lane, located in Kai Tak. Paramedics took the worker, who had suffered severe neck injuries, to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for urgent medical attention. He was taken to the United Christian Hospital, where he was declared dead after failing to be resuscitated. After a preliminary investigation, it is believed that he died due to extreme fatigue from overworking.
