MADISON, WISCONSIN (WKOW) – 


Madison police say a construction worker died after falling almost 60 feet near a building site downtown Monday morning.

Officers and the Madison Fire Department responded to a call of the fall on the 10 block of N. Webster St. just after 11 a.m.

The man in his 20's was taken to the hospital where he later died.

Officials with the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) know about the incident and will investigate it.

Police say the Dane County Medical Examiner will release the man's name, but there's no word on when that will happen.
