Just received his reply. The gentleman worked for a contractor. His name is Irvin Knauer a GSE mech. He was working alone(big no no) had pushback jacked up. It fell off the jack stands. Some other guys found the pushback on him & called 911 but it was to late, he couldn't be revived. For his family, I'm sorry for the loss & they are in my prayers.
For ALL OF US NO MATTER WHAT OUR JOBS:
Even though this is not a U employee it is a HUGE REMINDER that we all want to go home at the end of our shifts. No matter what your position, put safety as # 1.
