Struck by falling object

Two men were working atop an 80 ft silo attempting to reset the chain on a bucket elevator. One man was below and in phone contact with one of the two mechanics atop. As the call was ending, the assisting mechanic atop knocked a 'miner's bar' off the platform. The bar fell and hit the man below on the back of the head. The man died approx. three hours later in the hospital.
