An employee of a Texas company died at the Masonite plant in Laurel over the weekend after he fell through the roof of a building there, according to reports.
Cruz Lopez Calderon, 46, was pronounced dead at the scene by Coroner Burl Hall just after 9:30 a.m. Saturday. EMServ Ambulance and Laurel police were also called to the scene and Investigator Brad Anderson reported that it appeared to be an accident. The body was sent to the crime lab for an autopsy.
Calderon was reportedly working for Konnan Roofing out of Fort Worth, which had been contracted by Masonite, and was on the roof of the door plant when he fell through and plunged approximately 60 feet to his death. No other information was available.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been notified of the incident and is investigating, as is protocol with all work-related deaths and serious injuries. Efforts to reach a representative from Masonite before deadline were unsuccessful.
