Fatal trailer lift fall

A sign worker fell to his death this morning near Orlando, Florida after falling from the platform of a 40ft trailer lift.

Police say that they are not sure if the man was subjected to an electrical shock first which then caused him to fall, or if he simply overreached and fell. The platform was working very close to overhead power lines and had some long metal poles sticking from the basket.

We will update when we have more information
