Authorities in central Illinois say a man has died after a fall at a sports equipment plant in Rantoul.

Police say 50-year-old James Cornelius fell 30 to 40 feet from a shelving unit where pallets were stacked.

They say Cornelius walked onto an area marked as off limits while talking to other employees.

A BRG Sports spokeswoman says Cornelius was employed by Kelly Temporary Services and had been working at the plant for four weeks.
