Random Ramsdom: Construction resumes at SoFi Stadium

According to the L.A. Times’ Nathan Fenno, construction at the L.A. Rams’ SoFi Stadium had resumed on Monday following the death of a worker who fell from a part of the roof late last week. Per the Los Angeles County coroner, the man was identified as Juan Becerra, a 37-year-old ironworker from Brownsville, Texas.

He was pronounced dead at the scene following the fall which estimated to be around 110 feet, which is twice as far as the original 50-60 feet in initial reports.

As of right now, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health is investigating the death.

Construction on the new stadium was halted for two days by Turner-AECOM Hunt, the joint venture overseeing the $5-billion project.

From Fenno, the joint venture also announced another COVID-19 case in an email to trade partners Friday reviewed by The Times. This is known to be the 13th case among workers at the site since the first was recorded in March. Since the beginning of May, eight new cases have been reported.
