Two workers died October 24 after a crane operating from a barge in Massachusetts collapsed, according to police.
The incident occurred at a construction site at a former marine terminal on the Mystic River by Rover Street in Everett, according to the Everett Fire Department.
The deceased workers have been identified as Larriston Lake, 44, of Roslindale, and Paul Ledwell, 37, of Middleborough. They were members of the Pile Drivers & Divers Local 56 union.
