BOSTON (WHDH) - A construction worker died Monday after falling several floors at Mass General Hospital.
Emergency personnel were seen working on a deck about a third of the way up the building.
Witnesses say the incident was shocking.
“As soon as I looked down, I saw about a dozen doctors and nurses on that ledge, huddled together over a body,” said nearby resident Dennis Rooney. “They weren’t there that long because apparently there was nothing they could do.”
In a statement, a Mass General Hospital spokesperson confirmed “an accidental death of a contractor” occurred outside of the hospital’s main campus building.
“MGH officials, along with Boston Police, OSHA and other agencies, are continuing to investigate this isolated situation,” the spokesperson said.
There is no word yet on what caused the worker to fall.
