When this pest control worker went to work today, he probably didn't expect to never come home for dinner again.

Two pest control workers had been working on termite damage on a Curtis Park home the past few days. The previous owner of the home was a lady who lived to be 100 and passed away a few months ago. The home was up for sale with extensive termite and dry rot damage.

Today, the two men were working under the cement slab front porch when the edges gave way and the entire weight of the slab came down on them. Capt. Doucette of the Sacramento Fire Department guestimated the slab to be well over 1000 lbs.

The surviving partner stated that they were removing some "dark dry rot damage under the floor and the concrete floor it gave way and came down on us…it was about three inches thick and it came down on us." He escaped with very minor injuries.

Sacramento Firefighters arrived within one minute from the time of the call and the extrication took 25 minutes. Firefighters had to use pneumatic air bags to raise the cement and wood cribbing to shore it up to enable the extrication.

The worker was pronounced dead on scene.

The cause of the incident is currently under investigation by Cal OSHA.

The identity of the worker has not been released pending family notification.
