Construction Worker, 40, Killed in Fall at Jerusalem Building Site

A 40-year-old foreign worker was killed after falling from a great height while working at a construction site on Yosef Hakhami Street in Jerusalem. Magen David Adom medics found him unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, and pronounced him dead at the scene after medical checks. Paramedic Moshe Benita said responders were led through the site to the worker and determined that his injuries were too severe for resuscitation; the reports did not identify the worker or state the height from which he fell.
