He was treated at the scene and transported to St Vincent’s Hospital in a critical condition but subsequently died.

Police are investigating.

“A crime scene has been established and police are conducting inquiries into the circumstances of the incident,” a police spokesperson said in a statement.

SafeWork NSW inspectors are attending and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
