A Ministry of Labour engineer who helped investigate the collapse was among those who testified as the inquest into the death of Scott Johnson got underway. The plans had been reviewed and checked by an engineer, Domenic Cugliari, just over a week before the incident, he said. Charges in the case, against Cugliari and others, were stayed because the matter took too long to get to trial. “We heard a huge crack and within, like, two seconds the whole roof collapsed,” Ferguson told the inquest. A paramedic who was one of the first at the scene testified he found Johnson trapped under the stage with no vital signs.
