A construction worker was killed yesterday when a metal pipe fell 20 storeys, slicing through his hard hat.
Emergency crews arrived at 825 Bay St., the site of the Murano South Tower condominium project, shortly after 3:30 p.m. to find the man lying on the ground, bleeding from the head.
Toronto Police Sergeant Frank Pantaleo said the pipe fell from the 23rd floor and struck the man, a plumbing supervisor, while he was standing on the third floor.
The man, whose identity was being withheld until family could be notified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
