A 42-year-old worker died on Wednesday after falling 20 metres in a warehouse in Pasos, Marcon, Pontevedra, Spain.
This is reported by Diário de Pontevedra, which states that this is the second fatal industrial accident in 24 hours in Galicia.
The alarm was raised shortly before 9:00 a.m. (local time).
The victim, a Spaniard from the region, worked for a repair and maintenance company. For reasons that have not yet been determined, he was working when he fell helplessly from a height of 20 meters onto his dog.
When emergency services arrived at the scene, they could do nothing for the victim, who was pronounced dead.
Police are investigating the cause of a fatal industrial accident.
Yesterday another worker, 38, died after falling 10 metres in another industrial accident in Santiago de Compostela.
