if he is repairing the ceiling, than there should be a ladder
nearby when he fall down. than the area most likely will have some
sort of barrier to prevent passenger from going near. and u mention
about tools, if he is carrying tools with him, we should see
spillage of spanners, screwdrivers, etc on the floor. we cant see
any of those three in the 2 pictures above, so it is highly
possible that the metal thing fell onto him
This is my thinking, may be wrong...
The ceiling access pt has to be somewhere else actually,
judging by the height as I'd ever been there before.. Meaning
they've to get there via concealed access pt..
