(Baltimore, MD) -- Leaders of the Baltimore Department of Public Works are expected to face tough questioning at a hearing tonight to discuss working conditions inside the DPW.

Members of the City Council called for the hearing following the death of DPW employee Ronald Silver, II.

The 36-year-old sanitation worker collapsed and died of heat-related causes earlier this month while working on the job.

Today's hearing is set to start at 5 p.m. before the council's Rules and Legislative Oversight Committee.
