A worker died and another was injured when the ceiling of a house in which they were working collapsed, trapping them under rubble.
Police said the fatality happened at a house in St Ignatius Street in Sliema shortly before 10am on Saturday morning.
The worker who died is believed to come from Albania, as did the other injured man.
OHSA, (Occupational Health and Safety Authority), later issued a statement saying that they had not been informed of the works and that no permit had been submitted.
Investigations are ongoing.
