Abstract: On November 30, 2024, an employee working as a plumber for a property management company was responding to a weekend emergency call. A coworker, the property manager, received a request from a tenant at an apartment building regarding a clogged kitchen sink. The coworker then contacted the employee who was assigned on call response duty that day. The employee received a text from the coworker with pictures instructing him to investigate. The employee called the coworker and asked what size ladders were onsite and the location of the blowers. The coworker responded and advised the employee of the ladder sizes and the location of the blowers. At 9:45 a.m., the coworker received a call from a tenant that the employee had fallen off the roof and 911 was called and responded. Upon further investigation, the coworker determined that the employee had climbed onto the roof of the 2-story building. He gained access to the roof via a ladder from the balcony of a second story apartment unit. First responders found a handheld drain auger on the roof with other tools. The drain auger was extended approximately 20 feet. The drain vent that the employee was attempting to snake was approximately 17 feet from the edge of the roof. There were no witnesses and no video surveillance of the employee falling. The employee died from multiple blunt force trauma.
