A worker at the Ameren Missouri power plant at Labadie died Tuesday after falling 85 feet from a platform.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office identified the worker as 32-year-old Catherine Berliner of Hermann. It was reported that she had worked at the Labadie Plant for about five years.

The sheriff initially reported that the woman’s condition was not known, but family members later confirmed that Berliner had died from her injuries.

A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 24, at Assumption Church, New Haven. Burial will be in the church cemetery.

Visitation will be held Friday, Dec. 23, from 2-8 p.m. at Toedtmann-Grosse Funeral Home, New Haven.

She is survived by her husband, Randy Berliner, Hermann; her parents, Terry Marquart and wife Valerie, nee Vollmer; one daughter, Veronica Berliner, of the home; her stepchildren, Bryan, Daniel and Teri Berliner, all of the home; other relatives and many friends.

Sheriff’s deputies, firefighters with the Boles Fire Protection District and Meramec Ambulance District personnel responded to the plant about 9:15 a.m.

Berliner had been working with a power tool on a platform approximately 85 feet above the floor. It appeared that the power tool kicked back and struck her in the head, knocking her from the platform, according to the sheriff’s office.

“This is one of the more major things we’ve responded to (at the Labadie plant) in recent times,” Boles Fire Chief Jim Casey said. “We’ve had some fires and accidents and minor EMS situations, but this is probably one of the more severe accidents we’ve had in some time there.”

An Ameren official contacted by The Missourian Tuesday morning confirmed that an accident happened but did not provide any other details about the incident or the extent of the worker’s injuries.

In a press release issued late Tuesday afternoon an Ameren spokesperson said Berliner had been performing maintenance on one of the plant’s boiler units.

“We are in the process of conducting a thorough investigation.  This is a tragedy for all involved and no words can express our sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with the employee’s family members and our co-workers who are grieving this loss,” the release stated.

An 11-year-old girl died Friday after falling from a Ferris wheel while on a class trip to an amusement park in New Jersey, police said.

Abiah Jones fell at Morley Piers Mariner’s Landing Pier about 12:30 p.m., according to the Wildwood Police Department.

First responders gave her first aid and took her to Cape Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead about 1:15 p.m., according to police.

The girl was riding one of the park’s main attractions, “The Great Wheel.” At 156 feet, it’s one of the tallest wheels on the East Coast, according to Morley Piers spokeswoman Lindsey Young.

The cause of the girl’s fall was unknown and the Wildwood police and the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office continue to investigate.

The Carnival Amusement Inspectors of New Jersey were also on the scene Friday afternoon conducting their own investigation, police said.

It is the first time someone has fallen from the ride since it opened in 1985 and the park has suffered no other guest fatality, Young said.

The ride was inspected by the state in March and passed, Young said.
