Worker Dies In Fall At World Cup Stadium

A construction worker has died after falling from the Manaus stadium in Brazil which will host one of England's opening games.

Marcleudo de Melo Ferreira, 22, died in a hospital after falling nearly 35 meters (115 ft) after a cable broke.

The Brazilian firm building the Amazon stadium in Manaus said in a statement that Mr Ferreira worked for a company that had been contracted to build the arena's cover and an internal investigation of the incident would be conducted.

Preparations for the World Cup have also been plagued by delays, accidents and public anger over government waste that contributed to nationwide street protests last year.

Workers have already been killed at three of Brazil's 12 World Cup stadiums including Manaus and Brasilia. Most recently in Sao Paulo two people died in November after a crane collapsed in the arena due to host the opening game in June 2014.
