He loved working out at the gym and spending time with his girlfriend. But it all came to an abrupt end when a pile of heavy steel tubes crashed down on this 18-year-old worker at a welding shop in southern Ontario.

A bundle of 18 pieces of long steel tubes crashed down onto worker David Guenter. The young man died from severe internal injuries in a hospital in Windsor, ON.

Guenter’s coworkers said they were haunted by the sounds of his screams as he lay trapped under the steel tubes. His job involved cutting the tubes.

Family members say he was a quick learner who demonstrated an early aptitude for constructing buildings with his father.
