A coroner says a New York man has died of head injuries from falling from a roof he was helping demolish at a former hardware store.
The Erie County Coroner says 69-year-old Millard Young, of Akron, N.Y. died Sunday at Hamot Medical Center in Erie from complications of injuries he received in the fall.
Young was working for Rockford Construction Co. of Grand Rapids, Mich. when he fell while doing roof demolition work in Titusville on June 12. The building is being renovated, possibly for use as a video rental store.
A Rockford spokesman declined comment. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration automatically investigates workplace fatalities.
Titusville is about 85 miles north of Pittsburgh.
