The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the workplace tragedy.

No other details were immediately available.

The worker likely helped build MGM Resorts International’s grandstand for VIP race viewing at Lake Bellagio, where the famous fountain is located.

The 3.8-mile Vegas Grand Prix circuit will wind through downtown Sin City in November.
