"A maintenance worker at the Metropolitan Museum of Art fell to his death Friday while doing waterproofing work on a skylight at the Temple of Dendur.
Police are calling it an accident.
The incident happened around 10:30 a.m. this morning and was witnessed by several museum-goers.
The area where the man was working has a ceiling with two levels: a glass atrium and a false glass ceiling above the atrium. Workers can walk on the false glass ceiling.
Sources tell NY1 the worker was walking on the false glass ceiling when he put a counter-weight onto the glass. The weight somehow shattered the glass and the worker fell about 60 feet, landing on the marble platform below."
