Authorities in Alabama say a man doing plumbing work on an apartment complex's roof has died in a fall.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as 23-year-old Taylor Curtis Gray, of Cullman.

Birmingham police told news outlets that Gray was part of a crew doing plumbing work at East Lake House on Tuesday when he fell 4 stories and landed on a second floor concrete awning. Police said he was pronounced dead on the scene just after 10 a.m.

The investigating is ongoing.
