Ambulance staff and the London air ambulance were called to the property but later died from a head injury.
An inquest has been opened and adjourned into his death, which is being treated as unexplained.
One news source had reported speaking to a neighbour who said building work was taking place at the property where the incident happened.
“I think they were working on a loft extension.”When I came back one of the builders stopped me and told me there had been an accident. “I asked what had happened and he said someone had fallen.”
