Repairman killed while working on casino dumbwaiter

An elevator repairman was killed Saturday while working on a dumbwaiter at Harrah's Philadelphia casino in Chester.

The identity of the 52-year-old victim from Upper Darby has not yet been released.

Police said the man was working on a dumbwaiter that was being used to deliver food to restaurants at the casino when he became pinned.

The man died at the scene as a result of his injuries. He was a sub contractor and not a casino employee, police said.

The death is still under investigation by Chester and the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
