A Chatham scaffolder has died after a fall while erecting scaffolding at an address in Plumstead, according to media reports.
Steven Farr, 47, suffered fatal injuries on Herbert Road on 26 October and died at the scene despite efforts by emergency crews to save him.
The Health and Safety Executive is investigating alongside the Metropolitan Police, an HSE spokesperson told KentOnline.
Police told the newspaper that officers attended with London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance after reports of a man falling from a height. Emergency first aid was administered, but the man died at the scene.
The Met said an investigation into the circumstances was ongoing and the death was not believed to be suspicious.
Mr Farr had worked as a scaffolder for around 15 years. His partner Nicola Etheridge and daughter Gypsy Farr paid tribute to him in a report published on 13 November.
They described a hardworking, caring family man who was devoted to his children and grandchildren.
According to the newspaper, the family was still awaiting a date for an inquest into his death.
