A second construction worker died in Tuesday in Harford after falling from the roof of a building in Perryman, Harford sheriff?s deputies said.
The construction worker, a subcontractor of Gardner-Watson Decking, was working with sheet-metal roofing around 2:30 p.m. in the 500 block of Chelsea Road, when he fell between 30 and 40 feet to his death, said Monica Worrell, Harford sheriff?s office spokeswoman.
His name is not being released, pending notification of his family.
In June, another construction worker died after he fell from scaffolding inside a Belcamp warehouse while working on a cinderblock wall.
Harford businessman pleads guilty to faking credit history
A Harford businessman pleaded guilty Tuesday to wire fraud in U.S. District Court, after faking his company?s credit history and purchasing $2.3 million worth of merchandise.
Michael Murray, 61, of Street, faxed to various companies forged documents that said his Baltimore City-based Chesapeake Supply Inc. had good credit with several other companies.
He bought merchandise based on those false credit reports and never paid, according to the U.S. Attorney?s Office.
The charge of wire fraud involves using interstate wires such as a phone and fax to commit fraud ? in this case faxing a bogus credit history.
Murray is scheduled for sentencing Oct. 6, when he could face up to 20 years in prison.
