Painter killed by fall from roof

WorkSafe Victoria is investigating an incident where a 69-year-old painter died after falling through a carport roof at a Kilsyth, Victoria home. The man was taken to hospital in a critical condition and died the following day. His death brings the number of workplace deaths in 2020 to six, which is one more than at the same time last year.
