The man is identified as a subcontractor, though his personal data was not revealed until next of kin are informed about the tragedy. The death is treated as unexplained at this point and will be subject to investigation. Official one will be led by the Scotland Yard, but stadium investor LLDC also announced they would run their own examination of what happened.

So far all works at the Olympic Stadium were seized, pending further developments. It should not last more than a couple days and thus will not interfere with reconstruction schedule.
