The man was working on the gasoline-producing
69,000-barrel-per-day Fluidic Catalytic Cracking Unit No. 2 at
the 163,000 bpd refinery when he fell.
The worker sustained multiple injuries and was taken to an area
hospital, where he later died, the sources said.
A Citgo spokesman was not immediately available to discuss the
incident.
The man was working on a portion of the unit about 120 feet
above the ground, the sources said. It was unclear on Tuesday
morning what caused the worker to fall.
The sources declined to provide the worker's name and age.
