A construction worker fell to his death Saturday from the roof of a World Cup stadium being built in the jungle city of Manaus, marking the latest setback to hit Brazil before it hosts football's showcase event next year. It was the second death at the Arena Amazonia in less than a year, and the third fatality in a World Cup stadium in less than a month. Two workers were killed in late November when a crane collapsed as it was hoisting a 500-ton piece of roofing at the Sao Paulo stadium that will host the tournament's June 12 opener. Another worker died in April at the new Palmeiras stadium, which may be used for teams training for games in Sao Paulo.
