According to information, in addition to Gerson, two other workers were on the safety chain when it broke. Two workers were left hanging and managed to escape, but Gerson was not so lucky.
He fell and died on time due to the height being quite high, approximately 35 meters high.
Still according to information, the workers were preparing to leave the service, when the accident occurred. The Serra do Mel Military Police only became aware of it after it was released on social media.
The company responsible for the service did not communicate the fact. It is not the first time that wind companies in that region have made information difficult.
In another work accident that occurred in that region, where two workers died, the company made it difficult for the Civil Police and ITEP to enter the site.
It took the delegate on duty that day, Dr. Roberto Moura, threatening to arrest those in charge of the company for obstructing the Judiciary Police and the investigation. Only then was there authorization for the entry of the Civil Police and ITEP.
After the forensic work, the body of Gerson Alves da Silva was collected and sent for necropsy examinations at the Instituto Médico Legal do ITEP, unit of Mossoró – RN. After the procedures, the body will be released to the boy's family.
