Twelve days after the bodies of two of their colleagues were found in Salem, St. Ann, construction workers at the Bahía Principe hotel site at Pear Tree Bottom in the parish are again in mourning as another of their co-workers died yesterday.

Reports are that Everton Harris, who lived in Roaring River, St. Ann, was on his way to the worksite, about 7:30 a.m., when he attempted to hop on to a trailer. According to the police, Harris lost his balance and was run over by the left rear wheel of the heavy unit.

On August 20, the bodies of Damion Wedderburn and André Coke were found on separate premises on Back Street in Salem with stab wounds. Both men were residents of Nannyville Gardens, St. Andrew, and were employed as construction workers at the hotel.

Collapse

Prior to their demise, at least two other workers had been killed. One died after a section of the hotel collapsed. Several other workers were also injured. Another worker perished after he was hit by a motor vehicle in the vicinity of the hotel, which is under construction.
