CHICAGO (CBS) -- A Des Plaines family on Wednesday night was mourning the loss of a father who died in an accident at work.
Jijo George, 35, was working at O'Hare International Airport when he was accidentally killed by a piece of equipment at one of the hangars this past Sunday.
George and his wife have a daughter who will soon turn 2, and they are expecting another child next month.
A GoFundMe is trying to raise $100,000, as George did not have life insurance.
George immigrated to the U.S. from India 17 years ago.
