Worker death at L.A. port is second in less than a week
A longtime dock worker died and another was seriously injured in separate incidents at the Port of Los Angeles, marking the second fatality in less than a week.
Sixty-three-year-old Matt Petrasich was found dead Monday morning atop a cargo container on the Panamanian-flagged Ever Deluxe ship. His body was spotted by a crane operator, said a spokesman for the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
