Delco man killed in casino accident

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 was not released Monday.

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. He died of his injuries at the scene. He was a subcontractor and not a casino employee, police said.

Chester authorities and the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration were investigating. - Mari A. Schaefer
