KERSHAW COUNTY, SC
A construction worker fell 30 feet from a rooftop to his death Friday afternoon near Lugoff.
Larry Durney, a 45-year-old from West Columbia, died in the accident, according to Kershaw County Coroner David West.
Around 2 p.m. Friday, Durney was laying tin on a rooftop when a gust of wind caught the tin, which flew up and knocked Durney off the building, the coroner said.
Durney was wearing safety lines at the time, but he had loosened them to move to a new position on the roof, the coroner said.
Durney was taken to to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
