The club said in a statement that they were “heartbroken by the news” and added: “The thoughts and condolences of everyone connected with Everton are with his family, friends, and colleagues at this unimaginably sad time.” Everton has confirmed the death of a worker in a tragic accident at the club’s new stadium construction site. The 26-year-old man, who has not been named, was working on the building of the Everton Stadium at Liverpool’s Bramley-Moore Dock when he was fatally injured on Thursday afternoon.
The death was confirmed by a representative for Laing O’Rourke, the stadium’s constructing contractor, who also declared that construction had been halted until further notice.
“Merseyside Police and the Health and Safety Executive have been called to the site.”
The 53,000-seat, £500 million stadium is scheduled to open for play in the 2024–25 season.
