The employee broke his neck and was killed when the entire roof of the garage being demolished unexpectedly collapsed. A coworker was also injured.

The walls and attic floor of the garage were not braced and the employee and coworkers were allowed inside the garage, after the wall sheathing, iron pipe supports and house connections had been removed or cut.
