Investigation Summary
At approximately 6:05 p.m. on August 15, 1985, Employee #1 was getting ready to land a pile being set around a metal ring to form a cofferdam. He had moved his stirrups and the next pile was swinging toward him when the pile he was positioned on suddenly dropped about 5 ft. The seat of his pants became caught on the pile behind him and he was shot straight forward. Employee #1 fell approximately 30 ft, struck the back of his head on the metal ring, and slipped into the river. His body was removed 20 minutes later; he was pronounced dead at the scene.
