Man Found Dying in Machine at LAX
A 54-year-old man died Monday after being pulled from a machine in a facility leased by Qantas at Los Angeles International Airport, city fire officials said.
Paramedics tried to revive the man, whose name was not released, after finding him upside down at the bottom of a large conveyance machine used to store and move baggage trailers.
He was not breathing, his chin pressed to his chest. It was unclear how he had been injured.
Although the man, a technician working for Menzies Distribution, did not appear to have been trapped in the machine, he had suffered heavy bleeding, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphreys.
State worker-safety officials were investigating the death, he said.
