Family Mourns Father, Jijo George, Who Died In Work Accident At O'Hare International Airport

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.
