Yesterday's construction accident in Downtown Crossing, in which a bucket lift (also being called a crane) toppled over near the Brattle Book Shop, has proved fatal. One of the construction workers injured in the accident has died; the other is in serious condition. The workers had been inspecting a Suffolk University building.
