A construction worker, approximately 30 years old, died Friday morning after falling from scaffolding three stories high at a construction site in Beit Shemesh. Emergency services, including MDA and United Hatzalah, responded to the scene on Talmud Bavli Street after receiving a report of a fall from height. Upon arrival, they found the worker unconscious in the courtyard of a residential building, with no pulse or respiration and suffering from severe, multi-system trauma.
Paramedics and medics performed advanced resuscitation efforts, but due to the severity of his injuries, they were forced to pronounce him dead at the scene. According to United Hatzalah, the fall occurred due to a scaffolding collapse at the construction site where the worker was employed.
This incident follows a series of falls in recent weeks, including a nine-month-old infant who was critically injured two weeks prior after falling from a height at a Jymborree complex in Ashkelon.
