Trinity County is investigating the falling death of a cell tower worker

TRINITY COUNTY, Texas (KBTX) – The Trinity County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) is investigating a death after a cell tower worker reportedly fell.

TCSO said it received a welfare application Tuesday morning after a Mastec Network Solutions employee reportedly failed to return home the night before.

The employee’s last known assignment was in a tower just off SH 94 in Groveton.

The sheriff’s office said in its Facebook post: “Preliminary investigation indicates the man had climbed the tower and appeared to have fallen onto a platform that was suspended approximately 8 feet in the air.”

An identity has not been released.
