HENDERSON, Ky. (AP) -- A worker at a western Kentucky power plant has died after falling at least 100 feet.

E.On U.S. spokesman Chip Keeling says a scaffolding contractor at a Western Kentucky Energy Corp.-managed plant near Sebree fell Tuesday morning. E.On U.S. is the parent company of Western Kentucky Energy.

Keeling says the worker was disassembling scaffolding when he fell into a boiler.

Work at the plant was suspended while the Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health agency, the Henderson County coroner's office and the companies investigate the accident.

The identity of the man wasn't released, but the newspaper reports he worked for First Coast Scaffolding of Jacksonville, Fla.
