Virginia Commonwealth University Police are investigating the cause of an incident late this morning in which a man was fatally injured when he fell from scaffolding at the Critical Care Hospital construction site at the VCU Medical Center.

The deceased, whose identity is being withheld, was not a construction worker currently employed on the job. He had been employed by a temporary agency at the construction site a few months ago. His last day on the job was Aug. 16.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration also is investigating the incident.

The job site has been closed for the day.
