COLUMBUS — Columbus police say granite slabs fell on a worker at a West Side marble and granite business and critically injured the man who later died.
Robert Schofield was attempting to lift granite slabs in the rear of Unique Stone Concepts, 2350 International Street, just before 11:00 a.m. Tuesday when he was somehow inadvertently trapped between several slabs, according to Homicide Unit Sgt. Dave Sicilian.
Authorities say co-workers found Schofield, 55, and freed him. Medics called to the scene took him to Mt. Carmel West Hospital where he died shortly after arrival.
Sicilian says the investigation into the death is continuing.
