TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) - Authorities have identified a
construction worker who died during the demolition of an Ocean County strip
mall.
The Ocean County Prosecutor's Office says 52-year-old
Raymond Crosby was killed when a part of the building's roof collapsed on top
of him.
Police and Bayville firefighters were called to the
demolition site of Beachwood Plaza around 2:10 p.m. Thursday after a foreman
from Piscataway-based Edgewood Properties reported the roof collapse.
Rescue crews found the Keansburg man among the debris
shortly before 3 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation of Crosby's death is being handled by
the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Demolition began last month on the former Berkeley
Township shopping center located on state Route 9.
