Two construction workers were thrown into the water on Nov. 11 after scaffolding collapsed at the Loop Parkway Bridge in Point Lookout, according to New York State Police.
Kleiton De Madeiros, 39, of Montclair, NJ was rescued from the water and transported to a local hospital before dying of his injuries. Diogo De Oliveira, 38, of Elizabeth, NJ has not yet been recovered from the water.
