A 60-YEAR-OLD man fell to his death from a roof in Manor Road, Blackburn, yesterday.
James Green, of William Street, Blackburn, was working for a builder.
A police spokesman said he was standing next to the chimney as another worker passed ladders up for him to secure to the ridge. The ladders slipped and Mr Green fell into the rear yard.
The coroner and Health and Safety officer have been informed.
