Carpenter dies on the job

A carpenter collapsed and died on the roof of a house he was repairing at Long Gap, Spooners Hill, St Michael, yesterday afternoon.
Dead is Randell Morris, 55, of Villa Road, Brittons Hill, St Michael.
A co-worker told the DAILY NATION he was talking to Morris just prior to his fatal collapse around 5:55 p.m.
“I was on the ground talking to him when he just lay down,” he said. Fire Service officials responded to the emergency call. Station Officer Mervin Mayers said the officers checked for vitals, adding that someone had also attempted CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). (CA)
