Before he enrolled in BYU, Veikoso served a full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 2018-20 in Brazil. He began his college career at Arizona State.

Veikoso was part of a crew working on a 15-foot retaining wall when it partially collapsed, according to KITV News in Honolulu. Multiple individuals were trapped after the collapse.

Firefighters responded to the scene and removed the rubble to reach the people who were trapped, the report revealed. At least two were in serious condition.

Very vague reporting.

What state or country was he working in?

Doesn’t say if this activity was part of the church community outreach.
Doesn’t say if anybody was wearing a hardhat, or if the deceased had ever done such work before.
