A construction worker fell to his death Dec. 14 from the roof of a World Cup stadium being built in the jungle city of Manaus, marking the latest setback to hit Brazil before it hosts football's showcase event next year.

It was the second death at the Arena Amazonia this year, and the third fatality in a World Cup stadium in less than a month.

A few hours after the Dec. 14 death, another worker died of a heart attack while working outside the venue in Manaus, and a local union threatened to strike over working conditions. (AP)
