A Vancouver man is dead after an apparent fall at a construction site in the Tilbury industrial area last week.

Delta police spokesperson Sgt. Sarah Swallow said the man, an electrician in his 50s, was working on a warehouse under construction in the 7300-block of Wilson Avenue when. She said it appears the man fell off a 12-foot ladder he was working on and hit his head.

Swallow said no one witnessed the incident but co-workers found him at around 2:30 p.m., began first aid and called paramedics. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

She said the incident does not appear to be suspicious and that WorkSafe BC has taken over the investigation.
