SoFi Stadium worker dies after fall from roof

A construction worker in his 30s died after falling from the roof of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA on Friday morning.

The worker fell at least 60 feet while working on the roof in the southeast corner of the stadium, according to the Los Angeles Times.

All construction on the stadium has temporarily been put to a halt, and it remains to be seen when the work on the site will continue.

“This is an extremely sad day,” a spokesman for Turner-AECOM Hunt said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and colleagues at this extremely difficult time. We work extremely hard to prevent days like this and we have halted all construction activity.”

SoFi Stadium, the home to the Chargers and Rams, is slated to have its first event on August 14 as the Rams will play host to the Saints in a preseason matchup.
