Worker killed in fall from catwalk…

Man’s body found at former asphalt plant.

A 59-year-old Mississippi man was pronounced dead at the scene after falling from a catwalk at a demolition site three miles north of Detroit Lakes on Saturday.

Becker County sheriff’s deputies were contacted by the man’s wife Saturday night after her husband didn’t check in with her that evening as he usually did.
