Posted: 3:40 PM- A 45-year-old worker died today after falling 35 feet off of scaffolding at a private cabin near Brighton ski resort.

The man, whose name was not released, was pouring a concrete foundation about 1:15 p.m. when he fell, said Lt. Paul Jaroscak, a spokesman for the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office.

The man did not appear to be wearing a harness or helmet, Jaroscak said.

"Nothing, no safety equipment at all," Jaroscak said.

Salt Lake County homicide detectives are investigating if any wrongdoing took place, and investigators with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration will investigate, Jaroscak said.
