Tucson, Arizona | Published: 11.20.2008
A man who fell 65 feet while working on a cell phone tower in Corona de Tucson Tuesday has died, an official said Thursday.
Edward Wallen, 22, was pronounced dead at University Medical Center Wednesday afternoon, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Wallen had been working in the 16000 block of South Houghton Road, near Sahuarita Road, in Corona de Tucson when the incident occurred, according to Todd Cupell, a spokesman for the Corona de Tucson Fire District.
He was working with a partner at the time and was wearing a harness with primary and secondary tethers, but both failed, Cupell said. It was not clear whether it was an equipment failure or an operator error.
Wallen’s partner called 911 and he was flown to University Medical Center.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the incident.
