An 80-year-old man from Bayamon, Puerto Rico, died after falling from the roof of his home, Public Safety Secretary Elmer Roman confirmed during a briefing Wednesday afternoon.
The man climbed up a ladder and onto his roof to clean a drain while preparing for Hurricane Dorian.
“It’s very sad” Roman said, adding officials don’t have details or confirmation that he lived alone.
There are state and municipal resources, “but we must be sure to do wellness checks on residents who live alone and get them to shelter,” Roman said.
