    Bridge worker falls & drowns New York Daily News
    A worker sandblasting a Staten Island bridge fell 20 feet to the muddy waters below and drowned yesterday, officials said.

    Bruno Diaz, 24, of Newark, and a partner were sandblasting and painting the bottom of the Fresh Kills Bridge on the West Shore Expressway when Diaz slipped off the scaffold and fell into the creek at 1:15 p.m., police said.

    It was not clear whether he was wearing a safety harness.
