This morning, the Wichita Eagle reported a tower maintenance worker based
out of Bolivar, Mo, lost his life yesterday after falling 250 feet from a
tower in Sedgwick County, Kansas.
The article indicated his "ropes" had "unhooked" from the tower. Four
other workers on the ground heard him yell and then watched him fall. He
was taken to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita where he died 40 minutes later.
His name has not been released.
