The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the death of a construction worker over the weekend at the Fountains of Bellagio.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers responded Saturday to the Bellagio after receiving a call regarding an injured worker. Police discovered a worker had a major laceration to his neck and later was pronounced dead at University Medical Center.
Since Metro deemed the accident as a workplace incident, OSHA was summoned to the scene.
“Nevada OSHA officials were notified of the fatality that occurred Saturday on Bellagio’s property,” OSHA spokeswoman Teri Williams said in an email. “Officials were dispatched to the site of the incident to open an investigation.”
