Worker dies after falling from Doreen roof

A Kilmore man who fell from a house under construction in Doreen eight days ago, died today.

An Alfred Hospital spokesman confirmed the worker had passed away, but would not detail his injuries or time of death.

The man fell 2.4 metres while working on a house in Midland Road at 8.10am on June 28. It is understood he was marking the location of roof trusses at the time.

He was airlifted to the Alfred Hospital.
