They added: "Then, he apparently came through a skylight so fell from the outside of the roof about 80ft on to concrete inside. Poor George did not stand a chance and it is a terrible way to go.” George was sadly declared dead at the scene at EGL Homecare site in Shoebury, near Southend-on-Sea.
In a statement, Essex police said: "We received a report of an incident at Campfield Road in Shoebury at around 10am this morning (27 March), during which a man who was working at height had fallen and sustained an injury.
