A construction accident inside a future Downtown Brooklyn hotel left a worker dead Tuesday, officials say.
A crane hook fatally struck 43-year-old Paul Kenedy, of the Bronx, in the head at 61 Bond St. around 1:20 p.m., according to police.
They say he was operating the crane, and the accident happened after he got out.
