MARYLAND
A six-story parking garage under construction at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda partially collapsed, killing a construction worker, authorities said.
Dogs and cranes had to be used to search for the victim, who was found on the fourth floor, said Pete Piringer, a spokesman for Montgomery County Fire and Rescue.
Part of the top two floors garage collapsed about 9 a.m.
The cause remained under investigation, but officials at the Institutes said they believe a beam slipped.
