A Fort Wayne construction worker fell to his death Thursday morning, while finishing up a roofing project.Crews were working on the building that now houses the Garrett Christmas Bureau. The building previously served as a church and has steep roofs. The new roofing project was nearly complete, when a worker slipped and fell.
There were two ladders going up to the roof with the scaffolding across and apparently he slid on to that and bounced off the scaffolding and fell to the ground.
Witnesses say construction workers had spent the past month placing a roof on the building. Three crew members were with Bragg when he slid down, and witnessed the fall. Officials don't believe the roof was slick at the time, but instead believe it was an accident.
