AFP, Doha :
A Nepalese labourer who died working at a World Cup stadium in Qatar fell from a scaffold to his death, one of the main contractors at the site said.
The 23-year-old scaffolder died on August 14 at the $680 million (590 million euros) Al Wakrah stadium, one of the proposed venues for the controversial 2022 tournament.
“We can confirm this worker lost his life. He was performing access platform related work for one of the sub-contractors on site,” said a spokeswoman for Belgian construction giant Besix, one of Al Wakrah’s main contractors.
