A construction worker is dead after falling from a site in downtown St. John's Monday afternoon. Members of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and St. John's Regional Fire Department attend the scene of a fatal industrial accident at a Hilton Garden Inn that is under construction. Eastern Health paramedics, members of the St. John's Regional Fire Department and the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary gather near a tarp covering the body of a construction worker killed in an industrial accident Monday in St. John's. The hotel is being built by contractor Magna Construction, the same company that built another Hilton hotel near the St. John's International Airport. Toor said work is a few months behind schedule, and the downtown hotel is now set to open in February.
