The employee had laid out insulation panels on the roof. While working on the flat roof at the west side of the building, the employee stepped on the metal roof deck. The rotten section of metal roof deck that the employee stepped onto could not support the employee's weight, and the employee fell through the section, 32 feet to the concrete floor below. The employee suffered from blunt force trauma to multiple body parts and organs and was killed.
