An ironworker died Friday morning after falling more than 100 feet while working on the construction of a new stadium for the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, according to a report.
The unidentified man, said to be in his 30s, fell off the roof of the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood while working in the southeast corner of the facility, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing an anonymous source.

A joint statement from SoFi Stadium, the Rams and Chargers that was obtained by the Times called the death “heartbreaking.”
“The safety of our construction team and all of our employees is the foremost priority of our organizations, and we will continue to work with our partners and local authorities to deliver on this commitment.”
