    OSHA investigating fatal accident - BY BOB SEIDENBERG, Pioneer Press Online, IL
    The men, carpenters for Chicago-based W.E. O'Neil Construction Co., were working near the top of the new garage that is to reach 12 stories, said James A. Sikich, vice president for the company.

    The men were removing a preassembled concrete form called a gang form on the southwest core of the building, he said, when the form fell to the sixth floor, the building's current height.
