Arizona man dies in Air Conditioning Duct
July 31, 2008
A man from Tucson, Arizona, has died while trying to fix an air conditioning unit. The man slipped and fell head first into the unit. The man had been hired to close the air conditioning return pipe in a private residence at Ahwatukee, Tucson.
The man hasn’t been identified, only that he was thirty-seven-years-old and was of Hispanic nationality. He climbed into the twenty-four inch wide pipe, some thirty feet under the house. The Fire Brigade said the man hadn’t been heard from for three quarters of an hour after climbing into the air conditioning duct. It was then that the contractor checked on the worker, only to find him motionless on the air conditioning unit. He toed a rope around his legs and pulled him out of the pipe.
Despite calling 911, emergency crews were not able to revive the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
