A major investigation is under way into the “catastrophic failure” at a building site at Perth’s Curtin University that left an apprentice construction worker dead and two others injured.

Jonnie Hartshorn, 23, died after falling more than 20 metres when a metal structure supporting the glass roof of the building collapsed on Oct. 13 afternoon.
