One of three men seriously injured when scaffolding on a partially built 14-storey building collapsed in England earlier this week has died.

The man, who has not been named, was badly hurt when the scaffolding at a new Jury's Inn hotel development at Witan Gate in Milton Keynes collapsed on Tuesday.

A statement from the Health and Safety Executive said the man died yesterday.

Eamonn Laverty, managing director of site contractors McAleer and Rushe, has said the scaffolding collapsed in high winds.
