not identified. I believe the young man fell through a skylight while moving
equipment during construction. Much more likely way to die since most people
assume a skylight will bear their weight if they fall against it. Edge of
roof falls definitely occur, but self preservation instincts are usually
much more heightened in these areas.</span></p>
