Worker dies after fall into 500-degree tar

10/16/2004

TORRINGTON (AP) — A 21-year-old construction worker died Friday after falling from a roof into a large kettle of 500-degree tar, police said.

Robert Halvorson, of South Windsor, was doing work on a Main Street theater when he slipped and fell around 11 a.m.

Two co-workers were able to pull him out of the container, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Both co-workers sustained burns trying to him and one man, Claude Blackshev, was transported to the Greater Bridgeport Burn Center for treatment.

Its nice to see that his co workers risked injury to themselves to try and save him, at least they didnt just leave him there to boil.

Not to sound morbid or anything, but a friend of mine was heading out of town after having an argument with his wife and wound up flipping his 69 El Camino into a culvert. No one knew where he was for 4 days. He died under his car since he wasn't seen from the road. Police said he probably lived for most of the first day and then he probably realized he was going to die. I miss him. He was a good person.

yeesh!

First, roofers don't usually fall off roofs...?

Second...and even if they do, there's usually NOT a bucket of boiling oil directly under them...

Must've been his time to go?
