ACC has paid a compensation settlement to the China-based widow of an illegal worker killed on a building site while in New Zealand without a valid visa. Yu Xingming died on a building site in Hobsonville, Auckland, in May 2019 after falling to a concrete floor where he struck his head on wood.
A Worksafe NZ report obtained by the Herald through the Official Information Act shows Yu was in New Zealand illegally and was working illegally at the time he died.
