At approximately 6:30 a.m., the stocker/scrapper work crew began arriving to the worksite. Coworker #1, a stocker/scrapper employee, was one of the first to arrive at their normal work start time. As Coworker #1 began walking toward the north entry access point of the three story building, Coworker #1 discovered the dead body of Employee #1 on the ground. The hard hat of Employee #1 was found at the edge of the roof at the north elevation, during the post investigation. Employee #1 jumped off the roof of the three story commercial building, impacting the ground below from a 50 foot fall, resulting in a fatality. The impact of the ground directly caused the injury and fatality. Employee #1 committed suicide.
