Officials say a worker injured near Sedalia in west-central Missouri has died.

The Sedalia Democrat reports that 52-year-old Filipe’ Murano died late Wednesday afternoon at University of Missouri Hospital in Columbia.

Murano was injured Wednesday morning near the construction site of a new First United Methodist Church when a piece of masonry fell on him.
