Fatal Construction Accident as Worker Falls to Death at Spartanburg, South Carolina School | Shapiro, Washburn & Sharp

Something went dramatically wrong a few mornings ago when Daniel Hall fell to his death while doing some renovation work for South Carolina’s School for the Deaf and Blind. Climbing up the ladder proved deadly for Hall as he fell off while trying to install an electrical box for the school. Hall was transported to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead that same morning.

Although the cause of his fall is still under investigation pending an autopsy, Katie Rice, spokesperson for the School of the Deaf and Blind said Hall was working as a subcontractor doing renovations when he died in this construction accident.  It is not known as of this writing whether of not all safety regulations and precautions were followed at the time of Hall’s death.
