The Egyptian worker died on spot while his Bangladeshi colleague sustained severe injuries on a construction site in Deira.

A witness informed gulf news of the incident saying that she saw two bodies on the street next to a hotel in Deira. Police cordoned off the area.

The incident was initially thought to be a suicide but investigations indicated it was an accident caused by the lack of adherence to safety precautions.
