He fell at least 10 stories, and his body was found wedged between the seventh and eighth floors, Mr. Arreola was working on the 18th floor at the time of the collapse, said Arturo Jauregui, one of the lawyers for his family, which is suing the owners of the development. Wimberly was removed from the site earlier this month. “We need to make sure we don’t have any further loss of life or injury as we go about doing this.” “How do you stabilize the building and not get anyone hurt?” Fire Chief Tim McConnell said during a news conference a month after the collapse.
Arreola and another construction worker, Quinnyon Wimberly, 36, according to the authorities. The accident set off a precarious recovery effort to remove the bodies of Mr. One construction worker, Anthony Magrette, 49, died during the collapse, and his body was recovered the day after the building’s partial destruction. The collapse last October, in the city’s French Quarter, caused a cascade of metal and debris to fall on Canal Street on a Saturday morning.
