Our Toledo area wrongful death lawyers were saddened to hear of an accident that killed a worker at the site of the Edgerton High School expansion project on Wednesday.

The worker lost his life when a recently constructed wall blew over in high winds. The identity of the worker has not yet been released.

A burst of high wind blew a 10-foot-tall wall over in the morning hours. It was part of an addition to the high school that will create kindergarten through eighth grade classrooms.

The National Weather Service said the gust of wind was a “microburst,” not a tornado.

OSHA is currently investigating the accident.

Sharon Beebe, a 66-year-old patient at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center, lost her life Sunday after she fell though a fourth-floor window in her room. Her fall appears to have been an accident.

Staff at the nearby nurse’s station heard the noise around 9:40 p.m. Beebe was scheduled to be released Monday.

She was found on a first-floor roof by rescuers and was pronounced dead in the emergency room a short time later.

Our Toledo, Ohio wrongful death attorneys have handled several cases involving falls. One such case dealt with a person who was in a YWCA shelter looking out the window. As she did so the glass broke. She fell and lost her life as a result.
