UPDATE: Police Identify Construction Worker Killed at Arundel Mills

The construction worker who died Friday morning outside Arundel Mills has been identified as Leon Ray Sax, 27, of Hanover, PA, according to officials.

Sax was working inside a construction lift on the site of a casino project outside TJ Maxx at approximately 10 a.m. when a concrete wall collapsed and he was trapped under it, according to a statement from Anne Arundel County Police Department.

The concrete wall weighed about 25 tons, said Anne Arundel County Fire Chief Michael Cox in an interview with the Baltimore Business Journal. Cox also said the wall was in a vertical position when it fell.  

Another man—Darwin Suazo Jimenez, 25, of Manassas, VA—was also involved and has sustained life-threatening injuries. Jimenez was taken by ambulance to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where he remains in critical condition, according to trauma center spokeswoman Cindy Rivers.

As of 3:15 p.m. Friday, police said the body was on its way to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore to determine the exact cause and manner of death.

Rescue efforts were prolonged after the 10 a.m. crash because firefighters could only stay out in the heat for 15 minutes at a time, said WBAL-TV. 

Following the incident, the construction site received clearance from the Anne Arundel County Department of Inspections and Permits, reported the Baltimore Sun. Police said that the death is being classified as an accident; Maryland Occupational Safety and Health is conducting its own investigation.
