EDGARTOWN — A 32-year-old Fall River man died following an industrial construction accident on Martha’s Vineyard, Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois announced Wednesday.
At approximately 7:43 a.m. on Feb. 11, Edgartown police and EMS/rescue responded to a large construction site for a report of a man who had fallen from a second-story ladder onto a cement basement floor.
The victim, identified as Jose Luis Collaguazo Crespo, was transported to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Investigators have preliminarily ruled the incident an accident.
Based on current information, any potential negligence by the developer would fall under civil jurisdiction rather than criminal.
The district attorney’s office stated there is no active criminal investigation at this time but will reassess if new evidence emerges.
