A Dallas funeral home worker died at a hospital after he was pinned under a burial vault that fell on him Monday afternoon, authorities said.
The man was pinned from the waist down when Dallas Fire-Rescue firefighters arrived at the Restland Funeral Home at 13005 Greenville Ave about 2 p.m.
Firefighters were able to lift the vault with a combination of spreaders and airbags to free the man. Spreaders are usually used to open vehicles in accidents.
The man was taken to a hospital with serious injuries to his lower body, a Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesperson said in a news release. The spokesperson later received confirmation that the man died. He will be identified by the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office.
