A tragic incident has shaken the community of Perth's north-eastern suburbs as a 69-year-old man lost his life when a brick wall collapsed on him at a property on Sexton Road in Inglewood. As authorities continue their investigation, there are many questions surrounding the circumstances that led to this heartbreaking event.
On Friday, Worksafe arrived at the scene to gather evidence and piece together what exactly caused the wall to fall. The severity of the situation was evident as a worker was seen arriving, visibly shaken, to collect machinery. Later, another person came to pay their respects and leave flowers by the letterbox of the house.
Emergency services were called to the property around 1:15 pm yesterday after reports of a three-metre wall collapsing on two men. Tragically, the 69-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. It is believed that he was the father of the property owner. The other man, 26, was rushed to the hospital and is currently in a serious but stable condition at Royal Perth Hospital.
The news of this devastating incident has reached the construction industry, with the CFMEU expressing their condolences. In a statement, they acknowledged the impact this tragedy has on not only the families involved but also the entire community. These unfortunate events affect everyone and serve as a reminder of the risks involved in the industry.
The investigation into this incident is expected to take some time, prolonging the uncertainty and grief for the family during the holiday season. As they mourn the loss of their loved one, they are left without answers and closure.
