A construction worker died after falling 15-feet at a construction site in Little Italy on Monday.
The incident happened around 1 p.m. at a construction project on the intersection of Beech Street and Kettner Boulevard.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Several workers were installing a metal deck on the mezzanine level according to a company spokesperson.
"This is very devastating to all the workers and the family," said Mark Payne, VP Division Manager for Swinerton Builders.
Representatives from CAL/OSHA were at the site investigating the incident and interviewing workers to figure out what went wrong, Payne said.
"It's tragic," he said. "It's just a horrible situation."
